Fruit Tart

Ingredients:

1 pie shell (If you don't make your own, buy the 
frozen uncooked kind.) 
125 ml water.
200g sugar.
40 ml cornstarch.
1.5 l sliced fruit.
ground cinnamon or nutmeg (to taste).

Directions:

1 Mash 5 dl of the fruit in a saucepan with the water, sugar, and cornstarch.
Add another sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon. Boil until the liquid becomes clear (about two minutes).
2 Place the remaining fruit in the pie shell, and a sprinkle of the nutmeg or cinnamon.
3 Pour the hot mixture over the fruit, and let cool for at least two hours.
4 Serve, with whipped cream or ice cream as desired.

Difficulty: easy.
Time: 20 minutes preparation, two hours cooling.
Precision: approximate measurement ok.

Notes:

Any fresh fruit in season will do; I've made peach,
nectarine, and strawberry/banana, all to good effect.
Scheduling usually works out well if you make this shortly
before serving the meal, and let it cool while you eat.
