RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS:
If making homemade pie filling, use the instructions below.
In a large saucepan, add one cup of water, lemon juice and 1 cup of strawberries diced and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Cook for about 2 minutes.
In a small bowl, add the cornstarch and a 1/2 cup of water. Stir together until mixed well, making a slurry.
Pour the slurry mixture slowly into the sauce mixture while the mixture is boiling, stirring constantly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture is clear and thicken.

To make the fruit salad.
In a large bowl, add 2 quarts of sliced strawberries, pineapple chunks, and blueberries.
Add the pie filling (homemade or canned) to the prepared fruit and gently fold with a large spatula, being careful not to break up the fruit.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for later.
NOTES:
Don’t forget to add the vanilla if you’re using canned pie filling. If the pie filling becomes too thick, thin it up with a little water. Keep in mind that pie filling is thick and will thin out when combined with fruit.
