FRUIT COCKTAIL PIE

This fruit cocktail recipe makes two pies....one for you & one to share! :)

Provided by Amber Franks

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 can(s) fruit cocktail, canned
1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk
1 jar(s) maraschino cherries
2 pkg cool whip
6 Tbsp lemon juice concentrate
2 pkg graham cracker pie crust

Steps:

  • 1. Drain fruit cocktail and jar of cherries with all their juices; set aside. (I remove two cherries to put one on top of each pie and cut the remaining cherries in half).
  • 2. In a medium size mixing bowl, mix your can of Eagle Brand condensed milk and lemon juice stirring well. Pour your fruit cocktail and cherries into your mixture and stir gently.
  • 3. Gently fold in approx. 13 oz. of the cool whip (the best way I can explain this to you is one entire container and about ¾ of the 2nd container).
  • 4. Make sure you fold gently enough to mix well...if you stir too hard you will break down the cool whip, so be gentle!
  • 5. Divide your mixture into the 2 graham cracker crusts. Place the two remaining cherries in the center of each pie (if you saved them).
  • 6. Place lids on top, seal edges and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Can be made the night before. Enjoy!!!

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 c granulated sugar
3 Tbsp quick cooking tapioca
1/4 tsp each cinnamon and nutmeg
1 dash(es) salt
5 c fruit cocktail, in syrup,drained well (40 oz.)
1 Tbsp chopped maraschino cherries
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp soft butter
crust for 2 crust pie

Steps:

  • 1. Make Crisco pie crust dough for double crust pie. Drain fruit cocktail juice into medium saucepan; add sugar,tapioca, cinnamon ,nutmeg and salt. Mix and stir until sugar has melted and tapioca has thickened the sauce. Add fruit cocktail and extra maraschino cherries and bring back to a boil, mix lightly until thickened.
  • 2. Pour into prepared pie shell.Dot fruit with butter. Make and adjust top crust. flute edges and cut steam vents on top so steam can escape. Brush top with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in 375^ oven for 30 minutes or until crust is browned and flaky. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh fruit that is ripe and in season. Frozen fruit can also be used, but thaw it completely and drain off any excess liquid before using.
  • If you don't have any canned fruit cocktail, you can make your own by combining equal parts of chopped fresh or frozen fruit. Common fruits used in fruit cocktail include peaches, pears, pineapples, grapes, and cherries.
  • To make the pie crust, you can use a pre-made pie crust mix or make your own from scratch. If you are using a pre-made crust, be sure to thaw it according to the package directions.
  • When filling the pie crust, be sure to leave some space at the top for the filling to expand. Otherwise, it may bubble over and make a mess in your oven.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust and prevent the filling from overcooking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
