fruit pie filling

This stovetop fruit pie filling is easy as can be to make with whatever fruit you happen to have on hand or is in season along with sugar, cornstarch, orange zest, nutmeg, and lemon juice.

Stovetop Fruit Pie Filling

water

cornstarch

granulated sugar (depending on the sweetness of the fruit)

salt

lemon

nutmeg

orange

Strawberries (as in the cobblers above)

Strawberries and rhubarb (cut in 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) pieces)

Blackberries and sliced or chopped peaches

Gooseberries and red currants

Strawberries and blueberries

Cherries and berries

Raspberries and sliced or chopped nectarines

Blueberries and sliced or chopped apricots

In a small bowl, briskly whisk the cornstarch into the water.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the fruit, sugar, salt, lemon, nutmeg, and orange zest.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is broken down, 6 to 10 minutes.

Add the cornstarch mixture, bring to a boil, and cook, stirring vigorously in a figure-eight pattern, for 2 minutes more. The mixture will thicken to a jelly-like consistency.

Remove from the heat. Pour the filling into a bowl and let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it against the surface of the filling, transfer to the fridge, and let cool completely, about 40 minutes more. (You can stash this in the fridge for up to 3 days.)

Recipes for regular or CARAMEL. Options to use various fruit such as apples, pears, berries. Very easy, 1 pan recipe. Perfect for pies or as a dessert sauce
