When I want to impress guests, this is the pie I prepare. Peaches, plums and a bit of lemon peel are a refreshing trio that wakes up taste buds. It's a family favorite that's requested often. -Susan Osborne, Hatfield Point, New Brunswick Ingredients:

2 cups sliced peeled fresh purple plums |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
1/4 cup quick-cooking tapioca |
1/2 to 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches) |
2 tablespoons butter |
