Kiwifruit Pie

6 to 8 medium size kiwi fruit
1 baked pie shell
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 2/3 cups milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup finely chopped nuts

In medium size saucepan mix sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in milk until smooth. Over medium heat, stir until mixture comes to a boil. Boil only 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in butter, vanilla extract and chopped nuts. Pour filling into a baked pie shell and let cool.

Peel the kiwi fruit and slice in round slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Starting from outer edge of pie, add kiwi fruit slices in a circle, until surface is completely covered. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
