Baked Custard with Fruit

It is an embarrassment of riches to have so much delicious local fruit that you just can't eat it all. Between my farm basket, sporadic visits from my in-laws, and the abundance of farmers markets, I have to come up with ways to eat all the fresh food I have in ways that are not just cutting it up and taking a bite. This is a simple recipe to utilize fresh fruit or frozen fruit. It's essentially a baked custard and it takes minutes to prepare. It will fill the house with the smell of baked fruit and is always pleasing. It is a great dessert after a long day at work. The recipe is courtesy of Martha Stewart.

Ingredients
1/4 stick of butter
1/4 cup of milk
3 large eggs
1/2 sugar
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 cups fruit (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, whatever you have on hand)

Set oven at 400 degrees. Put pie pan in the oven with the butter to melt it. Mix all the ingredients together except the fruit and the 1 tbsp sugar. Mix well smooth. Pour into pie pan and add fruit. Sprinkle the sugar on top and bake. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the middle is firm. Heat broiler and broil for another 2-3 minutes until the sugar on top caramelizes.
