Preparation

  1. Place the peaches in boiling water for a couple of minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and skin them. Slice them and set aside.
  2. Combine the sugar, jelly, brandy and water in a shallow pan. Bring to boil, add the peaches and poach gently until they are barely soft. (This should take about five minutes.) Remove with a slotted spoon and cool.
  3. Pour the poaching liquid into a small saucepan and reduce over medium heat until you have a thick glaze. Arrange the peach slices in slightly overlapping circles on the pastry shell and coat with the warm glaze.
