Sweet Baked Goods Peach Meringue Pie

peach meringue pie
(from Housekeeping in Old Virginia, by Marion Cabell Tyree, 1878)

Ingredients:

ripe peaches​

tsp. fresh butter​

pie paste​

3 egg whites​

3 tbsp. powdered sugar​

Instructions:

Pare and stew ripe peaches. When nearly done, sweeten, take from the fire. Stir in a heaping teaspoonful fresh butter to each pie. Pour in a deep pie-plate, lined with paste. Bake ; when done, remove from the oven and cover with the whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff froth, and sweetened with three tablespoons powdered sugar. Set back in the oven to brown slightly. Apple méringue pie may be made in the same way, only flavoring the fruit. - Mrs. S. T.​
