Pie, UGH

Why, oh why, did I try to make a pie with no recipe? It was a disaster in my opinion but my love thought it was fine. I wanted it sweeter and firmer, and the damn fruit was too mushy for me.

The Problems

  • Frozen Fruit (My love's parents gave us some frozen fruit about two weeks ago, the problem we are moving in about two weeks and I refuse to travel with frozen anything or throw it away)
  • No Sugar

The frozen fruit was soggy by the time I was finished baking it and I used Agave Nectar as my sweetener and should have used more. Then I didn't make enough cornstarch water (which should have thickened my pie).

Next time I will do it with fresh fruit, add either cranberries or agar flakes, make sauce with brown sugar.

I would add a recipe but I really don't have one and I wouldn't dare add the steps I took to get to my outcome. When I do it again I will post that recipe.
