Well, that is not quite correct since you can use fresh fruit in a baked pie and you can cook vegetables for meals prepared and sold from a home kitchen under the cottage food permit.

Hot sauce and salsa are considered higher risk of foodborne illness so are not included products for the cottage food permit. You would need to rent time in a commercial kitchen for that type of product since you would need to be licensed as a food processor.

Fruit baked in a pie is not fresh. It’s baked and sterilized. It also has to be made in a commercial kitchen that has passed DOH inspections.

OP is saying they can't use fresh fruit or veg and I assume it is in the context of making the hot sauce they mention.

Cottage Food Permit allows for cooking in an inspected home kitchen and baked fruit pies are approved under that permit.
