My Sister’s Glazed Fruit Pie with Whipped Cream
Sep 5, 2006

In August and September, when fruit is ripe and fresh in the farmers’ market, my sister Carolyn makes a wonderful pie that you can easily adapt to whatever fruit looks the best. It is as delicious with juicy, ripe peaches as it is with blueberries. The crust is easy to make in a food processor, and all you need to do is press it into the pan. My other two sisters and I all clamored for the recipe as soon as we had this the first time.

I’m sharing her pie recipe here, and welcome you to give us your favorite fruit recipes in the "comments," too. Family favorites are a bonus!

Fruit
Enough fruit to fill your choice of pie pan, plus two cups

Crust
1 cup pecans
½ cup brown sugar
¾ cup flour (rice flour can be substituted)
1 stick butter

Glaze
2 cups fruit
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with ½ cup water

Enough whipping cream to cover the pie.

Put the sugar, flour, and pecans in a food processor and mix until the consistency of a meal. Add butter and blend until a dough-like consistency.

Press the crust into the pan and cook for 10 minutes at 375F.

Fill pan/crust with fresh fruit of choice.

Place 2 cups of fruit in saucepan with 1/2 cup of sugar and the cornstarch mixture. Cook on medium heat stirring frequently until the cornstarch loses color and the mixture starts to thicken. Pour the mixture over the fresh fruit in the pie pan and cool.  Cover the pie with whipped cream just before serving.

what form should the 2 cups of fruit for the glaze be in - small pieces? puree?

In answer to your question, cut up the fruit for the glaze into small pieces.

Thank you so much Annie for this recipe. I am really looking forward to trying it.

For the glaze, do you mean 2 cups of fruit juice? Because if you already filled the pieshell with a fancy design of fresh fruit, it does not seem like you would want to just pour more fruit pieces over your design.
