End of Summer / Labor Day Treats | Summer Love!

Serious Mealtimes / Amanda Suarez

As much as I'd like to deny it summer is coming to an end. In Southern California that doesn't mean putting away the grill but even here people love to grill one last time before fall arrives. Saying goodbye to grilling weather means saying goodbye to summer fruits so Labor Day is the time to whip up one last cherry pie blackberry pie or batch of strawberry ice cream. Or if you've spent too much time thinking about savory dishes to make a homemade pie how about something easy like 5-Ingredient Strawberry Shortcake or an effortless banana pudding? Either way keep reading for 27 Labor Day dessert recipes to celebrate the end of summer.

Perfect cherry pie is all about proportions. Making your filling with 5.5% tapioca starch will thicken it into a light gel that holds together without being soggy. A 4:1 ratio of fruit to sugar increases the gelatinization rate of the tapioca so the filling and crust cook at the same rate.
