Easy As Pie!

Sometimes ingredients can be as expensive as buying a ready-made item. This is true with today's recipes, but they are easy to make, unique, taste great, and most important, look impressive to your guests!

This made too much filling for 1 pie crust (use 2 if you make it), and looks plain. Decorating (called garnishing) with fruit or berries will make it more attractive. Drained pineapple chunks, peach slices, fresh strawberries cut in half and/or blueberries add color.

So for the next recipe, we filled 2 crusts. Garnish this also with other fresh or drained canned fruit. It would be good with just 1 cup pineapple (instead of the whole can) and 1 cup blueberries, or drained mandarin oranges, sliced peaches or fruit cocktail.

This is also a very pretty shade of pink.
