Very Berry Pie
From sunny 17 years ago
- 70 minutes to make
- Serves 8
This also came from Tauntons magazine. It suggested using about 4 different types of berries but I thought blackberry and blue berry was a perfect, not too sweet combination.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar shopping list
- 2 Tbs. cornstarch shopping list
- 2 Tbs. quick-cooking tapioca shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. salt shopping list
- 6 cups washed and well-dried mix of blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, quartered strawberries, huckleberries, logan berries... shopping list
- 1 Tbs. unsalted butter, cut into small pieces shopping list
- 1 recipe pie crust - see my recipes. shopping list
How to make it
- In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, cornstarch, tapioca, and salt. Add the berries and toss with your hands until the berries are evenly coated.
- Roll out the pie dough and place in a 9 inch pie pan. Pile the berries into the dough-lined pie pan. Dot the surface with the butter, cover the berry mixture with the top crust and seal the edges by fluting.
- Cut 5 or 6 slits in the top crust to let steam escape during cooking. Heat the oven to 400°F while you chill the pie in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 min.
- Put the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, bake it in the hot oven for 15 min., and then reduce the temperature to 350°F. Continue baking until the crust is golden and the filling juices that are bubbling through the vents and edges are thick, glossy, and slow, another 50 to 60 min.
- For the best texture for serving, cool the pie completely (which may take up to 5 hours), and then reheat slices or the whole pie just slightly before serving. (Cooling completely allows the filling juices to firm up, while a quick reheat makes the pastry nice and flaky.) You can serve the pie while it's still warm, but the filling will be slightly liquid; definitely don't serve the pie hot, as the juices will be too fluid
