Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar and flour. Add the fruit and toss till the fruit is coated with the sugar mixture.

Frozen fruit also may be used. When using frozen fruit, toss it with the sugar/flour mixture, then let the mixture stand for 15 to 30 minutes or till the fruit is partially thawed but still icy. Stir well.

Transfer to the pastry-lined pie plate. Top filling with slitted pastry. Seal and flute edge. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Cover edge with foil. Bake in a 375 degree oven 25 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes more or till the top is golden and fruit is tender.
