how to tie back broken peach tree branch?

My peach tree is 4 years old and had a very good crop. Because of excessive fruit, one of the big branches bent too much and broke half way from the main trunk. Can I save it by tying or something else?

Pull it back into place, lighten the load by thinning most of the fruit off the broken branch. Wrap tightly with electrical tape to completely seal the wound. Next spring cut the tape off. The branch will have healed.
