Updated on Jun 1, 2013

This is one of my family's favorites -and one of my original recipes :) The addition of a slight amount of spirits enhances the spices and gives this pie an edge over less 'mature' fruit goodies. Why "Captain Jack's"? The rum of course!

Ingredients

  • 10 large ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons rum
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons allspice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cardamon, ground
  • 2 - rolled out pie crusts -for top and bottom
  • - milk for brushing crust top
  • - sugar to sprinkle top of crust

How To Make captain jack's rummed peach pie

  • Step 1
    In a large bowl, cut the sugar, spices and cornstarch into the flour. Cut the butter into the flour mix.
  • Step 2
    In a separate large bowl, toss/gently stir the rum and peaches to coat.
  • Step 3
    Add the peaches to the flour mix and toss to coat again until each slice has some of the flour mixture on it.
  • Step 4
    While you preheat the oven to 400 degrees, lay your bottom pie crust in a pie pan (I prefer glass) and then pour, heap the fruit into the bottom crust.
  • Step 5
    Add the top crust and crimp your edges. Brush the top of the crust with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Make 4 or more inch-long slits in your top crust so that steam can escape. I normally do a slit for each 15 min mark on a clock face - so one at noon, one at 3, one at 6, etc.
  • Step 6
    Bake at 400 degrees for 20 mins
  • Step 7
    Lower the temp of the over to 350 degrees and bake an additional 40 mins - leave the pie in the oven after the bake time ends, until the oven is completely cool. Slice, serve and enjoy :)
