My maternal grandmother, Nana, always said she wasn't a very good cook. If that was true how come everything that she made was SOOO good? That question has had me scratching my head all my life! Now I've just put it in my 'oh well, that's just the way things were' file, and enjoy the many wonderful things that she cooked and passed down to me. Hope you enjoy this one and let me know what you think.

2Using a pastry cutter, cut in the 1/4c of butter and 1/2 can of fruit.
3Stir in the 3Ts of milk. Form a ball and press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9x13 baking dish. Bake for 5 minutes at 400. When you take it out reduce heat to 350.
