Peach Tart

Fresh peaches get a suntan in the oven
and there flavor intensifies into one
warm and sweet tasting dessert.
This just screams for some ice cream.

Ingredients:
1 9" pie pastry crust, thawed
1/2 cup real peach preserves
5 ripe peaches
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar or to taste

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured baking sheet.
Spread the preserves liberally over the pastry,
leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
Halve the peaches, remove the pits,
and cut into 1/2-inch half-moon slices.
Arrange peaches to cover the preserves.
Brush peaches with butter and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the pastry
is cooked and the peaches are golden brown.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
