Before long there will be fresh fruit ready for picking. It will make great preserves, jellies or fruit pies. I was reading an article recently concerning fruit filling and thought I would share this tip with you. Using 4 or 5 cups of fresh fruit (peeled if needed) combine with 3/4 cup of sugar. Now as we all know fruit is never consistent in sweetness and tartness so taste it. If it needs more sugar to your liking ... add it. Once you get it like you want it sprinkle the fruit with about 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. In a separ
ate bowl combine 1-3 tablespoons of cornstarch with any other spices
you are using (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.). Once you have those ingredients mixed up toss in your fruit and cover well. Pile into your crust and bake as the recipe instructs. Now that your pie is in the oven baking get your plate and fork ready for some scrumptious eating! ~ Chef Wilkinson ~
