3/4 cup of liquid from canned fruit
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Fit pastry into 10" flan pan/pie plate. Bake at 400F. 13-15 minutes. Cool. Reduce oven to 350F, Cream together cream cheese, egg, sugar and lemon juice; spread over baked crust. Bake at 35F. 5-7 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Arrange drained fruit atop cheese mixture. Combine fruit liquid and cornstarch in seperate saucepan.

Oooo, that sounds really good, Steve, thanks for the recipe! I'm cooking this year for Christmas and need to get a couple of desserts together. I'll see if I can wheedle the peanut butter pie recipe out of my future mother-in-law for you, if you like peanut butter, its to die for!

Yes, if you can get that recipe please post it for us, Susan. I love peanut butter.

I like Manderine oranges best in the Flan but any fruit works good. Let me know what you think of it. When I was growing up my Mom and her Mom did a lot of Holiday cooking. That was the best eating I ever did!

Have fun.
