Banana Cream Pie

BANANA CREAM PIE
*Make a Flakey Pie Crust and bake it.
When the pie crust is baked, make the filling.
Blend the following in a blender until creamy:

½ cup cashews (boil the first and rinse before putting them in the blender)
1 cup of water

Set aside.
Then put the following in a saucepan:

1 cup of water
¾ to 1 cup of dried pears

Boil for 3 minutes and then add this to the blender.
Then add and blend:

1 tsp vanilla
3 ½ T. arrowroot
Pinch of salt

Slice 4 medium bananas into the cooled pie crust. If the crust is hot, it will turn the bananas brown.
Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan and cook on medium, stirring constantly until thick. This may take 8-10 minutes.
Then pour the thickened mixture over the bananas and chill.
