Carambolas (sometimes called starfruit) are a tropical fruit that have a subtle citrus flavor

and have high water content

Good in the "Dried Fruit and Nut Pie Crust" (see recipe)

An easy way to make tapioca flour is by grinding old fashion pearl tapioca in a coffee

grinder (see the "Glossary of Ingredients" for more information on making or buying tapioca

flour)

FILLING

cups carambola sliced

about fresh carambolas)

/ cup Sucanat sugar

(or granulated sugar)

/ cup tapioca flour

(

cup fresh apricots sliced

pinch sea salt

GARNISH

teaspoon lemon zest

/ cup macadamia nuts coarsely chopped

CRUST

Prepare a pie crust but do not bake crust (eg the "Dried Fruit and Nut Pie Crust" or the "NonGluten Pie Crust"

or the "Simple Pie Crust") A large pie pan is best The "Dried Fruit and Nut Pie Crust" is a nice complement to

this pie since the carambolas do not have a strong flavor

FILLING

Place sliced carambola and apricots in a large bowl Add salt and nuts and gently toss Sprinkle in half of the

Sucanat sugar and half of the tapioca flour and toss again Add the other half of the sugar and tapioca and toss

one final time

Pour the carambola mixture into the unbaked pie crust Place aluminum pie crust protectors (or foil) around the

edges of the pie crust so it does not get overdone

Bake in a degrees F ( degrees C) oven (no need to preheat oven) for hour until the carambolas are well

cooked

Garnish baked pie with lemon zest
