GH: Peach Amber

Here's another recipe from Good Housekeeping. This was originally called Apricot or Apple Amber. The apricots were to be from a tin and the apples were to be stewed. However I had tinned peaches to use so I got down to blending the peaches.

I feared the peachy flavour would be too strong but it turned out quite nice!

I've still got to practice my pastry making skills but other than that, the pie was great.
