5 or more cups fresh fruit (peaches, blueberries, cherries or apples)
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup milk
1/2 cup margarine, softened
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg

Topping:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups boiling water


Spread fruit (we've used the recipe for both cherries and a peach-blueberry combination) in well-greased 9-by-13-inch pan. If using apples, sprinkle them with cinnamon.

In medium bowl, mix flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 1/2 cups sugar, milk, margarine (we used butter), baking powder and egg. Spread mixture over fruit.

In small bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and cornstarch. Sprinkle over batter, then pour 1 1/2 cups boiling water over batter. Bake for 1 hour in 350-degree oven.
