Juice of 1/2 orange

NO-BAKE FRESH FRUIT PIE

Categories     Berry     Dairy     Fruit     Dessert     Fourth of July     Kid-Friendly     Summer     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Yield: One 9-inch pie; serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

Special equipment:
9-inch pie plate; food processor or bowl and fork; 2 1/2-quart non-reactive saucepan
Filling:
4 cups any combination of fresh berries, picked over, washed, hulled, if necessary, and drained until dry, and/or cut-up peeled fresh fruit, divided (1 1/2 cups and 2 1/2 cups), (Note: try blueberries and peaches, or raspberries and nectarines, or blueberries and strawberries, or plums and peaches with Marionberries or huckleberries; do not peel plums, nectarines or pears)
2/3 to 1 cup granulated sugar (depending on sweetness of fruit)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or more as needed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Prepare the pastry, roll it out, and line the pie plate. Prick the pastry bottom with a fork and chill until firm. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Completely blind-bake the shell.
  • In a food processor or using a fork, mash 1 1/2 cups of the cut-up mixed fruit or berries. Measure the sugar, cornstarch, and water into a saucepan and whisk until smooth. Stir in the mashed fruit and cook over medium-low heat for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and clear. Stir in the lemon juice.
  • Taste the cooked sauce and correct the balance of sugar and lemon if necessary. Stir in the butter and all the remaining cut-up fresh fruit and berries. Firm fruits like apples or plums are best slightly mashed into the cooked sauce, while softer fresh fruits and berries should simply be stirred in. Chill until partially thickened, then spoon into the cooked pastry shell and chill for at least 3 hours to set. Serve with ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, utilize a combination of fruits. A blend of tart and sweet fruits, such as apples, strawberries, and blueberries, offers a well-balanced flavor profile.
  • For a thicker filling, incorporate a thickener like cornstarch or flour. Begin by mixing a small portion of the sugar with the thickener in a separate bowl. Gradually whisk the mixture into the boiling fruit until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Enhance the filling's flavor with spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger. These spices complement the sweetness of the fruit and add depth to the overall taste.
  • To prevent the pie crust from becoming soggy, brush it with an egg wash before filling it. This creates a barrier between the crust and the filling, preventing the crust from absorbing excess moisture.
  • For a golden-brown crust, brush the top of the pie with an egg wash or milk before baking. This will give the crust a beautiful color and a crispy texture.

Conclusion:

Homemade fruit pie fillings provide a versatile base for a variety of delicious desserts. With careful selection of fruits, the right amount of thickener and spices, and attention to detail during preparation, you can create exceptional pies that showcase the vibrant flavors of fresh fruits. Experiment with different fruit combinations, thickeners, and spices to create unique and delectable fillings that will impress your family and friends. Embrace the joy of baking and indulge in the sweet satisfaction of a homemade fruit pie, savoring the burst of flavors in every bite.
