Did you ever think you would see the words "Glue" and "Pie" in the same title? Well, this is a great secret of professional bakers they keep under wraps.
While visiting a friend this past summer I learned of this great secret to keep your fruit pie from that runny disaster when the corn starch doesn't seem to thicken just so. Or when you slice the pie too soon before it cools completely. This "Glue" creates a perfect thickness so you can go ahead and slice a semi-warm pie and not worry about the filling spilling out into the pie plate. You will be so surprised.

"Baking may be regarded as a science, but it's the chemistry between the ingredients and the cook that gives desserts life. Baking is done out of love, to share with family and friends, to see them smile." - Anna Olson
