They’re good, too, spooned over brownies capped with vanilla ice cream. • Spoon peach pie filling into well-greased muffin pans with chopped pecans and a dot of butter. Top with a biscuit from a roll of refrigerated biscuits and bake as directed on package. When baked, let stand a few minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. • Combine a can of pineapple pie filling with 2 cups shredded coconut and ¾ teaspoon curry powder. Heat and serve the fragrant sauce over chicken with rice. • For a really terrific sauce, heat together a can each of mincemeat pie filling and drained mandarin oranges. This is good spooned over pound cake; superb as a sauce over pear halves centered with scoops of ice cream. • Strawberry filling is perfect for valentine-shaped meringue shells. • Heated raisin pie filling adds a glory note to everything from broiled ham slices to old-fashioned bread pudding. • Apple pie filling is a shelf standby you won’t want to do without after you have tried it, heated with ½ cup honey and ½ cup butter, spooned generously over Sunday morning waffles. There’s no doubt about it, each can of fruit pie filling you open is the wonderful beginning to a whole new world of delightful, applause-winning dishes. Try them and find out for yourself.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
