In August and September, when fruit is ripe and fresh in the farmers’ market, my sister Carolyn makes a wonderful summer pie that you can easily adapt to whatever fruit looks the best at the time. 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 in our Care2Share feature, and welcome you to give us your favorite fruit recipes here, too. Family favorites are a bonus!
Fruit
Enough fruit to fill your choice of pie pan, plus two cups
Crust
1 cup pecans
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup flour (rice flour can be substituted)
1 stick butter
Glaze
2 cups fruit
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 1/2 cup water
Whipping cream
1. Preheat oven to 375F. 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.
2. Press the crust into the pan and cook for 10 minutes in preheated oven.
3. Fill pan/crust with fresh fruit of choice.
4. 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.
5. Pour the mixture over the fresh fruit in the pie pan and cool. Cover the pie with whipped cream just before serving.

Delightful! While the photo above is missing one can imagine the combination of fruits.
If one has cream it has to be fresh whipping cream, not the stuff out of the spray cans. Plus a touch of vanilla in the whipping cream and flavoured with Maple Syrup. Haven't made fruit pie for awhile but maybe it is time to get out the fresh fruit and bake a delightful one.
Anything with whipped cream!
Thank you
Yummy! Thanks.
Thanks for the article.
Thank you for sharing.
Sounds yummy.
Great recipe! I don't have a food processor, but I guess I might use my blender... or even knead the pie crust by hand. Another option would be to use cookie crumbs or powdered oatmeal (toss dry old-fashioned oatmeal in the blender for a minute or two). The nut part is the only problem.
There are no pecans to buy where I live, so I used walnuts. I think any nut except peanuts (but the're not really nuts, are they?) will do. Very fresh and tasty.
