honestly, I can't think of an island fruit that makes a good pie fruit, unless you count bananas for banana cream pie.
The fruits here make excellent flavoring, for cake or cheesecake, or ice cream, sauce, or toppings.
The exception might be the local berries ... I am thinking opelu but I might be spelling it wrong.
Pie suggestion -- go to Don's Grill in Hilo. Don the owner makes lots of pies and all from scratch. Check out the pies he makes.
