Tanzanian Pie

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Pour papaya, guava, or apricot nectar into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth, then slowly pour the mixture into the simmering nectar while stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Continue stirring until the filling thickens, about 2–3 minutes, then add sugar and salt.

Stir well to combine and let the filling cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Transfer the thickened filling into a pie dish or 4 individual baking dishes, spreading evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.

Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
