Fruit Pies Year Round

So many times I've bought fresh fruit while in season and made pies. But fruit is seasonal and when the season runs out, the price of fruit goes up and no more pies.

There is a solution! Buy the fruit in season (strawberries, peaches, etc.) and make up your pie filling. Line a metal pie pan with plastic wrap, fill it with pie filling, wrap it up and freeze. When it's fully frozen, pop out the wrapped filing, place it in a zip top bag and stack your future pies in the freezer. When you are ready for a seasonal pie in the off-season, simply prepare your crust and fill it with your frozen filling.

What a wonderful idea. I'm not much for pies, but my husband loves fresh fruit pies. Maybe I'll start making some using this technique.
