Making Currant Pie Filling
- Combine water, sugar and flour in a large, heavy pan and slowly bring to a boil, stirring
continuously to avoid lumping of flour.
- Add washed fruit and bring up to temperature, cooking for about five minutes, stirring
continuously until thickened.
- To bake a covered or uncovered pie, use a 9" pie crust. For uncovered, you may put
dabs of butter on top of the fruit. Bake at 425° for 1/2 hour and then reduce
temperature to 350° for another 1/2 hour.
