From the editor:

Hi Jett,

Here's my favorite recipe, that works with fresh or frozen fruit:

Fruit filling:

2 1/2 - 3 cups strawberries (fresh or frozen)
3/4 c sugar
3 tbsp cornstarch
1 c water, divided (1/4 cup and 3/4 cup)

In a large saucepan combine fruit, sugar and 3/4 cup water and cook over medium heat until almost boiling. Mix cornstarch in remaining 1/4 cup cold water and add to pan, stirring constantly until boiling and thickened. Cool before using.
