Both of which were arguably never alive. Hmm.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

I'm still finding the whole concept of undead fruit pies offputting. But I may take my pastry more seriously than I should.

I don't understand why the fruit rots, since it presumably wasn't rotted before it went into the pie.

the fruit is rotting, but Ned brings it back to life, so the fruit in his pie is always totally ripe. If he eats the pie, the fruit goes back to its natural state. If he makes the pie with naturally ripe fruit, it should be fine.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's right. Ned touches the fruit to make it fresh before putting it into the pie. When he touches it again to eat it, the fruit "dies" again and becomes rotten.

Early last season, they showed Ned specifically using rotten fruits that he brought back to make his pie. (I remember them then showing that the daisies in his windowbox were dead.) I guess maybe it's a way to extend the life of your ingredients? Or to save money by buying older fruit.
(Of course, not all fruit "dies" when it comes off the vine, right? Perhaps I should handwave more...)
(wow, that was an excellent x-post...)

Ah, I forgot about that. I even saw that episode.

Presumably he can go to the farmer's markets and buy the rotted fruit for a song!
