mixture becomes thick like jam. Remove from heat and let cool , it's ok
to place in refrigerator till cold.
For the dough use yor favorite biscuit recipe and add 1/2 Cup sugar to
it. Roll the dough 1/8 to1/4 inch thick. Cut dough into large circles
using a coffee can or LARGE biscuit cutter.
Add the filling to the round dough, moisten the edges with water, and
fold dough in half, making a half moon shape. Crimp the edges with a
fork sealing the fruit filling inside.
Heat about 4 inches of oil in a heavy skillet or a dutch oven. Wait till
the oil gets to 350 degrees. Place pies in small batches in the oil.
Turn pies halfway through the cooking ( when they rise to the surface).
Cook until golden brown. Drain them and sprinkle with sugar or make a
glaze using powdered sugar and water, and brush on the cooled pies. Wait
till pies have cooled a little before serving. ENJOY!
