FRUIT TART

     FRUIT-TART - A quick fruit tart pie

     This is just about the ideal way to use up any fresh fruit
     you have lying around. I got the recipe from my mom.

INGREDIENTS (Makes 1 pie)
     1         pie shell (If you don't make your own, buy the
               frozen uncooked kind.)
     1/2 cup   water
     1 cup     sugar
     2 1/2 Tbsp
               cornstarch
     10 cups   sliced fruit
               ground cinnamon or nutmeg (to taste)

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Mash 2 cups of the fruit in a saucepan with the
               water, sugar, and cornstarch.  Add another sprin-
               kle of nutmeg or cinnamon.  Boil until the liquid
               becomes clear (about two minutes).

          (2)  Place the remaining fruit in the pie shell, and a
               sprinkle of the nutmeg or cinnamon.

          (3)  Pour the hot mixture over the fruit, and let cool
               for at least two hours.

          (4)  Serve, with whipped cream or ice cream as desired.

NOTES
     Any fresh fruit in season will do; I've made peach, necta-
     rine, and strawberry/banana, all to good effect.

     Scheduling usually works out well if you make this shortly
     before serving the meal, and let it cool while you eat.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 20 minutes preparation, two hours
     cooling.  Precision: approximate measurement OK.
