I created this recipe by slightly altering one I found in our local electric company’s magazine. You can adjust this recipe to work for almost any fruit, and I’d love to see what combos you come up with. So far I’ve only tried peach and mixed berry (photo below).
Ingredients:
1 9″ graham cracker pie crust
fruit of your choice (enough to almost fill crust)
1/4 cup of fruit flavored gelatin (any flavor will work)
1/4 cup corn starch
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup liquid of choice (water, fruit juice, soda – will all work)
Spread the fruit inside the pie crust and set aside. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small sauce pan and whisk over high heat. AS SOON AS the mixture begins to bubble up (thicken) remove it from the heat otherwise it will bubble over. I wasn’t fast enough and got the goo all over my counter and sink. Luckily I managed to keep it off the hot burner, though. Pour the thickened mixture over the fruit until the is shell is filled (you may have a little leftover). And gently tap/shake/stir to evenly distribute it. Place in the fridge until firm. ENJOY!
Hope you have had a great summer! Your pie looks delicious.
Ohhhh! Yum! And my kind of simple!
