How to Make Uncle Bill's Variety Of Fruit Fillings For Pyroshky

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. **Prepare the Fruit:**
  3. - Strawberries: Hull and slice 2 cups.
  4. - Raspberries/Huckleberries: Use 2 cups whole.
  5. - Rhubarb: Cut 2 cups into 1/2-inch pieces.
  6. - Cherries: Pit 2 cups.
  7. - Peaches/Apricots: Remove pits and cut 2 cups into 1/2-inch pieces.
  8. **Make the Thickening Mixture:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup tapioca starch until well combined.
  9. **Combine Fruit and Thickening Mixture:** Gently fold the sugar/tapioca mixture into your chosen fruit. Mix until the fruit is evenly coated.
  10. **Rest:** Let the fruit mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the tapioca to absorb some of the juices.

  12. **Add Sugar:** Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar over each filled pyroshky.
