My paternal grandmother used to make peach pie when I was a kid in the 1960s and 1970s. She never used a top crust. She would boil the pits in unflavored powdered gelatin, water, and a little red food coloring. She would pour the hot liquid over the freshly sliced peaches in the pie before baking. The pie would have this, well, pinkish-white, gelatinous substance on top. I liked it. These days, we know that peach pits contain small amounts of amygdalin, a chemical that can break down into the poisonous chemical cyanide when digested, so I will NOT recommend boiling the pits.August 27, 2024, at home
I don't think I have ever eaten this.
