Italian Peach Torte

Dip peaches in boiling water for only a few seconds. Then dip in cold water. Remove skins and cut into halves. Dip in fresh lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Melt butter or margarine in an 8x8x2-inch baking pan. Add sugar and almonds. Mix well and spread uniformly over bottom. Arrange peaches, cut-side down, over mixture. Set aside.

Prepare Torte.
