How To Make A Simple Fruit Pie Filling

Step 1

Peel, slice and chop the fruit into small cubes. Then add a squeeze of lemon juice and toss in a bowl. The lemon juice will stop the fruit going brown.

Step 2

Add all the ingredients to the pan, EXCEPT the spices and vanilla if using.

Step 3

Bring to the boil and when it starts bubbling, remove from the heat, add your spices & vanilla and allow to cool. Once cooled, you can freeze, refrigerate or add to the pie.

Step 4

*** If you prefer a 'softer' bite to the fruit, for example if you are using as it is without any further cooking in a pie, then leave it to simmer in a pan a little longer until the fruit is soft to your liking.
