- Oh my god.
Hey guys, it's Inga.
So, as some of you might know,
a while ago my friend Ade
has been asking me to mix a bunch of things together
like every kind of cookie mix, every kind of cereal,
every kind of cake mix to form into
completely new creations
and this time, knowing how much I love fruit,
he has asked me to mix every single kind of fruit
you could possibly find into a pie.
He just dropped off a giant box of fruits.
I don't really know what's in there yet.
So, let's open it up.
Watermelon, yellow watermelon, banana,
figs, plantain, prickly pear, plum, nectarine,
kiwi, lemon, pomegranate, peach, orange,
mango, a soursop, dates, quince.
One of this is a tangerine and one of this is a mandarin.
Grapefruit, apple, pear, green grapes,
two little things of lychee,
longans, guava, smooshed dragonfruit.
Got a coconut.
I don't know how to break this open yet but I will.
(water sloshing)
Jujubes, a lime, strawberries, some raspberries,
blackberry, blueberry, a velvet apricot, cherries.
Avocado because avocado is a fruit!
Passion fruit which I'm super pumped about.
Rambutans, breadfruit, cantaloupe, pineapple.
We have Korean melon, papaya, honeydew,
Korean pears, tomatoes
which is surprisingly also a fruit and not a vegetable
so yes, there will be tomato in this pie.
Okay, there's three more.
These are frozen so I almost forgot but acerola,
jackfruit and of course some durian.
There's literally so much fruit.
What I'm gonna do now is basically cut up
every single kind of fruit here.
This is what I have right now.
You guys can see, this is a full picture of
all the different kinds of fruit.
What I'm gonna do now is actually toss each type of fruit
into this bowl and I'm gonna add just a little bit of sugar
and macerate the fruit
and then just let the juices drain
so then my pie won't be crazy soggy.
Hopefully that juice I can condense it again
back into a syrup that will be like this glorious
50 different type of fruit syrup.
I am still starting on a fairly normal note.
The apple and pear will hopefully help balance
the crazy out.
I think my only experience with plantains is
the deep fried ones.
I am curious to know how it's gonna taste in pie.
Generally for pie I know we try to avoid
super watery fruit and watermelon is literally water.
Papaya does have a softer texture
so I feel like this is just going to
completely disintegrate in the pie.
Bananas, probably gonna add a bit of creaminess.
Cherries.
I love passion fruit.
I almost want it to taste
more like passionfruit than anything else.
All my berries.
Plums, beautiful color.
Dates.
Dates are very chewy though.
Not really sure how that's gonna add.
Next up we have some guava which is again
just smells really nice, like slightly floral.
Velvet apricot, it almost looks like apricot jam
at this point which I think is not a bad thing at all
so, tropical flavors
think is gonna be really nice in the pie.
What's gonna be not so nice are these tomatoes.
Even though tomato itself isn't savory,
for some reason when I think of tomatoes,
I think of savory things.
Could be good, could be really bad
but this is going on there.
This is some soursop.
I'm gonna try actually a little bit.
Mmm, there's some sort of floral notes to it.
I feel like this could be really good.
Breadfruit I've never had as well.
It has almost like a spongy texture.
It smells really nice.
Prickly pear.
The only time I've had prickly pear was in a margarita.
Rambutan, this is what it looks like.
On the outside it's like a little alien.
It's almost like finding a pearl on the inside.
In Chinese cuisine, we use longan for a lot of desserts
so I feel like it could work.
A bit of green.
Avocado.
Avocado and condensed milk
is actually a really good dessert.
It could potentially add a creaminess to the pie.
Figs are also not too crazy in dessert.
Fig jam is one of my favorite jams.
Korean melon, very similar to
I think honeydew and cantaloupe.
It does have a slightly crunchier texture.
Quince which is known as being
a crossover between apple and pear.
I feel like a pie made just with quince
might be really good.
Korean pear, absolutely love.
It's very juicy.
Jujube, one of the things that we use for desserts a lot.
Mango, probably my most favorite fruit.
Tangerine and also mandarin
give it a little bit of citrusy burst.
Jackfruit, it looks very much like durian on the outside.
A very pungent smell.
Not opposed to it just not sure how it is in pie.
Next up, oh, durian.
My mom always said the stronger smelling a durian is,
the better it's gonna taste and I completely agree.
This one that I bought specifically is from Malaysia
and it is known for being extremely potent
in terms of smell.
It's probably gonna be amazing.
That's going in.
You know how they normally add lemon juice to fruits
for a fruit pie?
This is kinda the same concept.
This is lime.
Then the rest of my citrus fruits.
Pomegranates, squeeze in there.
And then I have the acerola puree which is my last fruit.
Now for our gorgeous bowl of fruits.
I am gonna add sugar in here and
mix it up.
I'm gonna eyeball this part
'cause I feel like we already have so much sweetness.
I feel like the strong smelling fruits
are really standing out, so the durian, the jackfruit.
Looks pretty interesting right now.
Let it chill for a little bit.
Wait until it releases all that juice.
Drain it and go from there.
So this is what my fruit looks like right now.
It has been sitting for a while and
this is the amount of juice it gave me.
So, it's not that much juice compared to let's say
if I did the same process to apples.
But I am still gonna reduce it over the stove top.
After that's done and cooled, I can then put it in the pie.
It looks like this right now, it's very gooey,
very oobleckey.
Smells a little bit interesting.
I almost feel like I get a little bit of tomato.
You know when you're making tomato sauce?
I'm gonna taste it really quick.
Okay it's very sweet because of obviously the added sugar
but I am getting notes of jackfruit.
I'm so confused because it just tastes like
you know when you have a fruit smoothie
and it's just a combination of everything.
Anyways, go ahead and add this into the fruit.
So far, so good.
I feel like they've softened a little bit which is nice.
Suddenly it smells like jackfruit and durian again.
So I guess the strong smelling ones really do win over
but we will see what it looks like after I
pop it in the oven.
Just go ahead and put my fillin' in.
It actually looks pretty good.
I am now going to just do a lattice pie crust.
This so far is looking pretty good though, I will say.
Brush a final layer of egg wash on there,
final sprinkle of sugar on top.
I'm gonna pop this in the oven.
Goodbye, pie.
See ya later.
So while I'm waiting for the pie to bake,
I'm also curious to know what
just combining straight up 50 types of fruit
is going to taste like.
So there's no sugar in this one
which means we'll taste how sweet I guess
the combined fruits are.
Let's blend this up.
(blending)
I love this color.
It smells like durian.
(laughter)
(upbeat music)
Oh this is so interesting.
The first taste I got was durian and banana
but then it started melting into apples and pears.
I got that kind of sweetness.
The aftertaste is very similar to
your average berry banana smoothie.
50 kinds of fruit is not cheap to buy but
it is surprisingly very good.
All right my pie is done!
It looks surprisingly pretty amazing.
It looks like an actual fruit pie so I'm very excited.
But now I have to let it cool for at least four hours
so I'm gonna taste this first thing in the morning tomorrow.
The pie has been chilling in the fridge overnight
so it's completely set now
and I am so excited to show you guys
what it looks like right now because
it actually looks like a normal fruit pie.
(upbeat music)
I'm actually going to now give some of this pie to Ade
who's here to pick it up.
And so then we can taste test it together.
- Boom, I got it. - Tada!
- This is gonna be an interesting test for me.
- Cheers!
- Cheers.
You know what this tastes and smells like to me?
Fruit roll ups.
It reminds me of school.
This is really good.
- Right?
- And you know how critical I am.
- I feel like I'm getting a very sweet tomato
but it's not unpleasant because of all the sugar I added in.
- Have you ever had a vitamin gummy?
It's like that,
it's like a combination of different flavors,
things that I can't identify,
like all of the fruit that I know
but there are tastes in this pie that
I'm not familiar with
but I feel like I should try some of these individually and
see what I think.
But together, together they work.
You did it again, you did a great job.
You even satisfied my taste buds and honestly,
that's the most difficult task for anybody.
- Okay, so I guess this is it.
I have almost finished my pie at this point.
I actually really like it.
Another challenge down.
Let him know what else you want to see us mix next time
and we'll try to make it happen.
All right, see ya.
