I needed pie. Peaches aren’t ripe yet. Cherries are just coming into season. We don’t have a pantry stocked with jars of preserved cherries and peaches. We do have access to supermarkets, and they are selling some ripe, picked, and flash-frozen fruit. The fruit is not cooked. It is a blank canvas preserved Han Solo style, and we take advantage of it. Aki whipped up a pie crust. While it chilled, she cooked the frozen fruit filling. Then she hot-loaded the pie, pinched on the top crust, and put it in the oven. When it was cooked, we not-so-patiently cooled it. The fruits blended. The crust was flaky, crispy, and cooked. The juices overflowed. This was a great pie that did not last long. Good thing we can get more frozen fruit.
