Fruit Filling

1. 1

   If using diced apples or pears, poach them in boiling water for 1 minute, then drain.

2. 2

   Whisk the water, sugar, salt, and cornstarch together in a saucepan to make a slurry, then bring it to a boil over a medium heat, stirring constantly.

3. 3

   It should thicken by the time it comes to a boil.

4. 4

   Remove it from the heat immediately, then stir in the fruit.

5. 5

   Some fruits will leach moisture into the slurry, so stir the filling a few times as it cools.
