6. spread onto cooled crust.
7. add your fruit on top of the creamy topping. you can choose whatever you like. i have listed a rough estimate of what we like to use above, but you can use any fruit of your choosing. arrange by placing one type of fruit in a circle around the edge, working inward with different fruits in each row. (wash fruit thoroughly and drain fruit thoroughly if you use canned fruit.).
8. combine cornstarch and sugar with orange juice and boil for one minute.
9. add 1/2 tbsp butter. if too thick, thin down with a little water. let it cool.
10. brush over the fruit and serve!
