Mmm... pie... do you always peel the fruit?

A Plum and Nectarine Pie doesn’t need peeled.

Crust

1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1/4-1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
2-3 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 to 1 cup of ice water … drizzle as needed to make mass.

Mix all dry ingredients, fork in the shortening to a crumbly consistency, drizzle in water to make a workable dough. Knead slightly, work into a mass, roll a top and bottom round. Place bottom into a deep dish pie pan, reserve top for after filling.

1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2-3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon of salt
