- Filling for pies

- Swirl into muffins
- Layer in parfaits
Simply open the container and spoon the fruit filling directly into your prepared pie crusts, pastry shells, or other baked goods. It can be spread evenly or dolloped for a more rustic appearance. For cheesecakes, it's often added as a topping before serving or swirled into the batter before baking.

The heat of baking will further set the filling, creating a delicious fruit component in your finished dessert.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh fruit, this filling is pre-sweetened and thickened, providing a consistent texture and flavor. It also holds its shape better during baking than some fresh fruits, which can break down significantly. The convenience of not having to wash, peel, or chop fruit is a key difference.

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused portion of the fruit filling. It should be stored in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent it from drying out. Properly stored, it can be kept in the refrigerator for a reasonable amount of time.
