<\/p>\n<p>I started with a recipe from my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, which I love because it has just about anything you can think of with lots of basic info to help you get started.&#160; I usually use it to get a sense for how long something should be cooked or what kinds of flavors go into some type of traditional sauce or something along those lines and then go from there.&#160; For this pie, I was looking for a way to use up a giant pile of fresh fruit that was too ripe for us to eat straight up and that I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to go bad.&#160; BH&amp;G had a recipe for a Harvest Fruit Tart that used apples and a bunch of dried fruits that you reconstituted in some apple juice before mixing with nuts and baking in a tart with a lattice top.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>I used my fresh fruit, used the apple juice to make a gooey gooey sauce, and was too lazy to even attempt lattice-work.&#160; <\/p>\n<p><u><font color=\"#8c0f76\" size=\"4\"><strong>Fruit Jumble Pie<\/strong><\/font><\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4 apples, peeled, cored and chopped<\/li>\n<li>3 peaches, peeled and chopped<\/li>\n<li>4 plums, peeled and chopped<\/li>\n<li>About 1 cup strawberries, chopped<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 1\/2 cup apple juice<\/li>\n<li>1 cup rough chopped walnuts<\/li>\n<li>1\/3 cup packed brown sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup all purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 tsp ground nutmeg<\/li>\n<li>2 pie crusts (I used whole foods frozen crusts already in tins.&#160; To make the top, I let one defrost and took it out of the tin)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat oven to 375 degrees. <\/li>\n<li>Combine chopped fruit and apple juice in saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until it gets thick and syrupy. <\/li>\n<li>While it cooks, mix nuts, brown sugar, flour and nutmeg in a large bowl. <\/li>\n<li>Add the fruit mixture to the bowl and mix until everything is combined.&#160; This will look really beautifully gooey and sticky and amazing. <\/li>\n<li>Fill the pie shell.&#160; I had WAY too much filling and fit in as much of the fruit as I could.&#160; You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see below this was a tiny bit disastrous. <\/li>\n<li>Top with top crust in a fancy lattice or whatever way you see fit.&#160; I used one of my valentine\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cookie cutters to make crimp-edged hearts (8 of them! one for each slice of pie!) that went around the edge.&#160; This was mostly successful.&#160; <\/li>\n<li>Brush top pie crust with a bit of milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.<\/li>\n<li>Bake for about 45 minutes.&#160; You want the crust to be brown and the filling inside to be nice and bubbly.&#160; If the middle of the filling isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t bubbling, your pie will probably not thicken up nicely as it cools, so make sure you get to the bubbly filling stage!<\/li>\n<li>Remove from the oven\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.mine had a little bit of an overflow and one of the hearts slide off the pie and onto the baking sheet (always bake your pies on a baking sheet!) so I had to rearrange that after cooking.<\/li>\n<li>Cool on a wire rack.&#160; My book says fruit pies can stay out overnight or for up to 24 hours.&#160; I left it on the counter overnight and then covered it and tossed it in the fridge the next morning. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I ate a slice one day after work, straight from the fridge by itself.&#160; It was alright\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6a bit too tart for me.&#160; From that point on we heated up slices and served with vanilla ice cream\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6HEAVEN!&#160; I love warm pie crust and fruit filling with cool vanilla ice cream.&#160; Really really satisfying.&#160; I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not sure I liked the walnuts in the pie\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.sometimes I liked them better than others, but Matt really enjoyed them every time we ate the pie.&#160; It only took us a week to get through the whole thing and now I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sad that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gone \ud83d\ude41 <\/p>\n<p>&#160;<a href=\"http:\/\/pink.jemts.com\/images\/FruitJumblePie_13A6C\/IMG_0462Small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"IMG_0462 (Small)\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_0462 (Small)\" src=\"http:\/\/pink.jemts.com\/images\/FruitJumblePie_13A6C\/IMG_0462Small_thumb.jpg\" width=\"314\" height=\"236\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/pink.jemts.com\/images\/FruitJumblePie_13A6C\/IMG_0460Small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"IMG_0460 (Small)\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_0460 (Small)\" src=\"http:\/\/pink.jemts.com\/images\/FruitJumblePie_13A6C\/IMG_0460Small_thumb.jpg\" width=\"314\" height=\"236\" \/><\/a>&#160; <a href=\"http:\/\/pink.jemts.com\/images\/FruitJumblePie_13A6C\/IMG_0464Small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"IMG_0464 (Small)\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_0464 (Small)\" src=\"http:\/\/pink.jemts.com\/images\/FruitJumblePie_13A6C\/IMG_0464Small_thumb.jpg\" width=\"318\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/pink.jemts.com\/images\/FruitJumblePie_13A6C\/IMG_0471Small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"IMG_0471 (Small)\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_0471 (Small)\" src=\"http:\/\/pink.jemts.com\/images\/FruitJumblePie_13A6C\/IMG_0471Small_thumb.jpg\" width=\"318\" height=\"239\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/pink.jemts.com\/images\/FruitJumblePie_13A6C\/IMG_0470Small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"IMG_0470 (Small)\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_0470 (Small)\" src=\"http:\/\/pink.jemts.com\/images\/FruitJumblePie_13A6C\/IMG_0470Small_thumb.jpg\" width=\"568\" height=\"428\" \/><\/a>&#160; <a href=\"http:\/\/pink.jemts.com\/images\/FruitJumblePie_13A6C\/IMG_0473Small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"IMG_0473 (Small)\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_0473 (Small)\" src=\"http:\/\/pink.jemts.com\/images\/FruitJumblePie_13A6C\/IMG_0473Small_thumb.jpg\" width=\"573\" height=\"431\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/pink.jemts.com\/images\/FruitJumblePie_13A6C\/IMG_0487Small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"IMG_0487 (Small)\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_0487 (Small)\" src=\"http:\/\/pink.jemts.com\/images\/FruitJumblePie_13A6C\/IMG_0487Small_thumb.jpg\" width=\"572\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m still way behind\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6this weekend was not so much about catching up as I thought.&#160; Oh well.&#160; I have been telling Dori I would post pictures of this pie I made for over a week now, so here it is!
