AUNT HELEN'S FRIED PEACH PIES

Steps:

• 1. Combine the first four ingredients in 2 qt heavy sauce pan. Bring to boil. Stirring occasionally.
• 2. Boil for about 30 minutes on med/high heat then reduce heat to medium. Stirring occasionally.
• 3. Continue to boil on medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 30 more minutes. As peaches become tender and syrup begins to thicken, mash and cut peaches with a spoon until they become like pie filling.
• 4. Roll out biscuits on a floured surface to about a 5 inch oval shape (I use parchment because it won't stick).
• 5. Fill the dough with about 1 1/2 tablespoon of cooled filling. Fold over and crimp and seal edges.
• 6. Fry in skillet with about 1/2 inch deep (hot) Crisco. Fry on med/low heat 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Fry 2-3 pies at a time.
• 7. Remove to absorbent paper towels.
• 8. *Note: May use 1/4 cup less sugar if you don't like them as sweet.
