In a small bowl pour the lemon juice in it and then add the powdered sugar. With a small wisk beat until it is the right texture and taste. You may have to add more lemon juice to it. It should be a clear glaze. Put on top of cak and then let it run down the sides of the cake also.This is very good.

PEACHES FOR A PEACH PIE

While I was watching a cooking show on TV. It was showing how to make a peach pie. What got my attention was, always use frozen peaches when making a peach pie if you cannot get fresh peaches. I did not know this. If you use canned peaches they will get soggy and the pie will not have a very good texture. Just use the unthawed frozen peaches and mix them with your sugar and spice mixture then bake it. If you make a apple pie or berry pie do the same with them.
