Grandma Minnie's Peach Tarts

Here's another great way to use canned peaches -- my Grandma Minnie's Peach Tarts! This tart is elegant enough for a French pastry tray but the tasty crust is easy to prepare.

1/4 cup boiling water
1/3 cup shortening
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 egg yolk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package (3 ounces) vanilla pudding
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg white
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup nuts, sliced or chopped
1 can (15 ounces) sliced peaches, drained
Maraschino cherries (optional)

In a medium sized mixing bowl pour boiling water over shortening. Stir until smooth; add lemon juice and egg yolk. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; add to shortening mixture, mix well. Chill for 1 hour. Divide dough into 6 equal portions. Roll out 1/8" thick on well-floured board. Fit dough rounds on 3-1/2" or 4" tart pans. Place on baking sheet, prick with fork, chill for 1/2 hour then prick again. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool.

Prepare pudding according to directions on box, add almond extract. Chill. When ready to serve, beat egg white until frothy, add sugar then spread egg mixture on the rims of the tarts. Dip rims in the sliced or chopped nuts. Spoon equal portions of pudding into tart shells. Top with drained peaches and maraschino cherries, if desired

Easy Peach Cobbler

1 large can (29 ounces) sliced peaches in syrup
3/4 cup ginger ale or lemon-lime soda
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 package refrigerated caramel sweet rolls with nuts
1 tablespoon melted butter

Drain peaches; reserve 1 cup syrup. Combine syrup and ginger ale (or lemon-lime soda) in a heavy sauce pan. Whisk in flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and thickened. Stir in nuts from the sweet rolls, melted butter, and peaches; bring to a boil. Pour hot peach mixture into a buttered 8-inch square baking dish. Separate the rolls and arrange on top of the peaches. Bake at 375° for 18 to 23 minutes or until rolls are golden brown.
