Ingredients
- 2 recipes Sour Cream Pie Crust
- 5 cups strawberries fresh, hulled and quartered, 1lb 9oz/710g
- 3 cups blueberries fresh, 15 oz/426 g
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup cornstarch 1 ⅓ oz/37 g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- lemon zest and juice of one lemon
- egg wash
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar , for sprinkling
Notes
- Try alternate crusts. My Sour Cream Pie Crust compliments this pie filling perfectly, but feel free to use any of my pie crust recipes.
- Go for fresh. This is best made with fresh berries, as frozen berries release a lot of juice very quickly before the crust has a chance to set and the cornstarch thickens the filling, and that might cause a soggy bottom crust.
- Important top-crust tip. Be sure to leave enough space between the heart cutouts to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- Don't underbake! Keep baking the pie until the juices are bubbling a lot and possibly overflowing a bit to be sure that the cornstarch is activated and the fruit will be adequately cooked and thickened. Otherwise, the pie will be runny and taste a bit chalky from the uncooked starch.
- Protect the crust. If the crust starts to overbrown before the filling is done, loosely tent the top of the pie with foil.
- Make clean up a snap. Be sure to use a lined baking sheet under the pie for easy cleanup later.
