      I haven’t tried, but it’s worth a shot. Because the plums are colder, you will need to increase the baking time. Frozen fruit tends to release more liquid, so you may also need to add additional flour.

    Can you make this pie ahead and freeze it?

      I’ve never tried that. The plums might get a bit mushy, but for pie that wouldn’t be too bad, so it’s probably worth a try!

    I just got done making this pie. I did have to add another tablespoon of sugar and lemon juice as suggested because some of my plums were on the tart side. But I did have an issue with a runny pie. Not sure how to fix this as I am new to pie making.

      It’s probably just be that you added lemon juice. Not only does that add more liquid, but lemon juice can inhibit the thickening of flour and cornstarch. Next time try it without lemon juice and it should be just fine! 🙂

    Could you use Strawberries instead in this pie?

      I’ve never tried it, so I don’t know. Strawberries have more juice, so my guess is that you would end up with a pretty runny pie.
