PIE GUARDS

Have you ever baked a apple or cherry or peach pie and have the crust get to brown before the pie is done. One simple trick is to take a alum. pie plate that you have saved and cut the middle out of it. Turn it upside down over the other pie and it will keep the edge of the crust from getting to brown and with the middle cut out the pie will still bake.

CRAB RANGOON

1 Pack Nasoya Won Ton Wraps
1 (8oz.) Pack Cream Cheese, softened
1 Pack or Can Of Imitation Crab Meat (8ozs.) found in seafood section

Chopped Green Onion (about 2-3 stems)
Garlic Salt to taste
Put all ings. except wraps in a bowl and mix or if using blender, blend until crab is in small pieces. Place one heaping teaspoon in the center of each won ton. If you put to much filling in it will cause them to explode. Dip your finger in water and put around the edges of the won tons. Fold over and seal. Fry in hot oil (375) for 30-60 seconds. The filling is already cooked so you just need to cook the skins. Do not let them scorch.

PEACH SAUCE

1Large Can Peaches (packed in juice or light syrup)
5 Tablespoons White Vinger
Honey or Sugar (to taste)
Drain peaches and set juice aside. Can save the juice to thin down sauce if it gets to thick. Put the peaches, vineger and honey in a blender and add about 1 Tablespoon of sugar or honey to get the right sweetness and sour taste you like. Blend until mixed. Can be used with rice or crab rangoons. Or can be used over ice cream.
