Mix together. Place in 9×13 dish. Spread batter over fruit.
Topping:
- 1 ½ T corn starch, mixed with 2 T water
- 1 ½ cup boiling water or peach juice
- ¾ cup sugar
Combine sugar and boiling water. Make past of cornstarch and water. Stir into
hot sugar/water mixture. Pour topping slowly over batter. Try to use all of it.
