Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh fruit instead of canned?
Yes, you can absolutely use fresh fruit! Just ensure that the fruit is ripe and cut into small, bite-sized pieces. Fresh fruit will give the pie a bright and refreshing taste, but you may need to adjust the amount of lemon juice to balance the flavors.
How long does this pie need to chill?
Ideally, the pie should chill for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better for the flavors to meld and the filling to set properly. This will allow the pie to hold its shape when sliced, making it more enjoyable to serve and eat.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, this pie is great for making ahead! You can prepare it up to two days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just keep it covered to prevent it from absorbing any odors from the fridge, ensuring it stays fresh and delicious until you're ready to serve.
