P.S. Thin strips of tin foil covering just the edge of the pie for the baking
period (removed 10 minutes before the pie is finished baking) will leave the
outer crust perfectly golden.  Yes, I have baked a "few" pies in my past, as
shopping is not my only skill.

The foil I've never heard of (I will remember than for good pies) but the fork
pricks were apathy more than anything.  I know I could have put more effort
there but this was a test pie (which failed miserably--the filling was far too
watery and have some lumpy cornstarch bits in it--didnt stir enough during
preparation of the filling.)

I think it may have been a bad idea to use canned peaches.  I bought a can of
peaches on a whim to just eat out of the can, but figured I could make a pie out
of it.  I found a recipe on conservativehousewife.com or whatever (I'm not
kidding, seriously) for canned peaches but it relied heavily on the use of
cornstarch and careful preparation of that stupid filling.

Calum

(...) Oh yes, the test pie, what was I thinking? (...) Awwwwww (...) Just as a side note, if you want to try that again, always mix the cornstarch in a bit of cold water, or the "juice" from the can, to make it into a thick but runny glue like paste (...)
