Kiwi-Strawberry Pie

What do you do when you get 10 Kiwis and a pound of strawberries in your Bountiful Basket?

Kiwi-Strawberry Pie

Make a graham cracker crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup melted butter
4 Tbsp. granulated sugar or 2 Tbsp. fructose

Mix well. Press into bottom and sides of 9 - 9 1/2" pie plate. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Let cool while making filling.

Filling:
Peel and slice into bite size pieces 4 Kiwis and about 1 1/2 cups strawberries. Place in saucepan and mash.



Add 6 Tbsp. honey or fructose and 2 1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch. Stir well. Add 1/2 cup water, stirring to boil. Cook 1 minute or till cornstarch clears. Turn off heat and stir in 2 Tbsp. butter and 2 tsp. lemon juice. Set aside.



Into cooled pie crust slice 3 peeled Kiwis  and more strawberries. Keep one Kiwi and 2 quartered strawberries to decorate top of pie. Pour mashed mixture over fruit in pie crust. Arrange Kiwi and quartered strawberries on top. Chill at least 4 hours.
