Mixed Berry Pie
Description
This Mixed Berry Pie recipe combines equal parts of frozen blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries, thawed carefully without rinsing or draining to preserve juices. The berries are sweetened with sugar and thickened with cornstarch, ensuring the filling sets properly during baking. Salt is added to balance sweetness.
A prepared 9-inch pie crust lines the baking dish, filled with the berry mixture spread evenly. A second crust covers the top, sealed by pressing edges with a fork and optionally decorated with slits or cookie cutter shapes to allow steam release. Baking at 375°F produces a crust that browns evenly and a filling that bubbles as it cooks.
The pie is suitable as a classic dessert highlighted by mixed summer berries' vivid flavor. Store-bought or homemade pie dough may be used depending on convenience, with various ways to shape and seal the crust. A pie crust shield can protect edges if browning too quickly.
Ingredients
- 2 pie dough crust store bought or homemade
- 1 1/2 cups blackberries frozen boysenberries can also be used, frozen
- 1 1/4 cups blueberries frozen
- 1 1/4 cups raspberries frozen
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Measure out berries into a large bowl to thaw. This usually takes about 20 minutes or so. Do not rinse the berries in water or drain the juice from the berries as they thaw.
- In a separate bowl, mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
- Pour on top of thawed berries and mix well. The berry/sugar mixture will be thick.
- Place one pie dough crust in the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish.
- Spread the berry mixture evenly in the pie crust.
- Add the top crust. Cut slits in the top crust or use cookie cutters to decorate. Press the pie edge with a fork to seal the top and bottom crusts together.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until crusts turn a golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling. Use a pie crust shield if the edge is browning too fast.
Notes
- Store-bought refrigerated or frozen pie crusts are convenient and work well for this pie.
- Pillsbury pie crusts in tubes and frozen crusts from grocery stores are suitable options.
- Edges can be crimped, decorated with lattice strips, or sprinkled with sugar as desired.
