No-Bake Fruit Pie

An easy-to-make pie that requires no baking. Almost any fruit can be used, and other flavors of gelatin can be substituted for lemon, so long as the flavor complements the fruit used.

1/3 cup butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup diced toasted almonds
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup vanilla yogurt or sour cream
1 cup boiling water
1 3-oz package lemon gelatin
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh fruit

Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the flour, almonds and honey. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture just begins to brown, about three to four minutes. Cool slightly, then lightly press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan with the back of a spoon or fork. Cool completely.

Dissolve gelatin, sugar and salt in the boiling water, dissolving gelatin first. Add yogurt. Mix with a rotary beater until well combined. Refrigerate until thickened but not set. Stir in fruit, then pour mixture into cooled pie shell. Chill until firm. Makes one 9-inch pie.
