- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 c Pourable fruit peach

Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add liqueur; mix well. Press dough evenly onto bottom of 8" square baking pan. Bake 15 minutes until set. Arrange peaches evenly over partially baked crust; if using fruit halves cut into slices first. Combine eggs and pourable fruit; mix until well blended. Pour evenly over peaches; set aside.
