Hi.

Morrisons have just started doing pie fillings again, they got rid of their own label ones and now do 3 varieties of Hartleys ones, in the home baking aisles.

(Insider knowledge;) as I work for them)

Stange though it sounds, did you know you can actually bake pies using REAL fruit?!!!

Where oh where can I get some apricot pie filling? I have tried Sainsburys, but they only have black cherry and apple, Co-op they only have blackcurrant, Tesco - couldn't find any, Asda only had apple, Morrisons only had apple. Ppppppppppppppplease I want some apricot pie filling. Where can I get it? :think:

Never :rolleyes: . Ever thought that tinned last longer and no waste.

I buy tinned rhubarb to make crumbles as I have none in the garden and it expensive to buy.

if you can stuff that is reduced to pennies then that is ok. But not ever one can.

Don't be lazy!

It's very easy to make your own pie fillings - and much healthier too!

I didn't know that people, through choice, use a tin of 'pie filling' to make a crumble!!!! You go to the trouble of making crumble topping, and put it on a tin of hartleys filling? That is so weird. It's like half-fast food. Not the processed ready made one but the processed sort of pretend homemade one. You could use cheaper in season produce. Using a tin full of loads of sugar and preservatives is really random and I have never come across this idea before! Have you tried markets for fruit? Esp at the end of the day. You can buy loads for a £1 and make cheap delicious, healthy puddings.

This was a moneysaving post. I truly didn't know people used these tins, and for my family it is MUCH cheaper to use fresh locally sourced produce. I have removed the smileys, as somone thought I was not chuckling but being offensive and sarcastic. Hey ho that is a forum for you. Who cares who cooks with what, it would be very expensive for me to use these tins to feed my family so it is not really applicable to me anyway.

I saw pie filling in tins next to the pastry cases and flan cases just yesterday.
