Peach Sauce

My Mom and I were laughing today about how you wait all summer for your fruits and vegetables to come into season and it seems like they all come in at the same time.  Then you're scrambling to get everything fixed before it goes bad.  We got some peaches from Mom's neighbor and today we could use them for baseball practice but later in the week they are going to be ready for just a split second; and when they are, I am going to make peach sauce.  Not sure if it will wind up in a cobbler or over some vanilla  (maybe homemade) ice cream.

1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 dash ground nutmeg
1 cup sliced peeled fresh peaches
1/8 teaspoon almond extract

I put all ingredients in a saucepan and simmered until the peaches were soft and sweet.  I also did not have almond extract (must have used it all last summer with peach cobblers!) so I used vanilla extract.
