Three Berry Pie

This delicious berry pie uses fresh blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries with a homemade pie crust.

Directions

1. To make the crust, combine flour and salt together in a large mixing bowl. With 2 knives or with a pastry blade, cut in the cold shortening until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Toss the flour mixture with a fork and add water 1 tablespoon at a a time. Don’t add more water than necessary: a pinch of the moistened mixture should form a round ball when squeezed. Divide the dough into two halves and roll them out. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2. Transfer one ball of dough to a lightly-floured surface. Roll the dough outwards from the center, forming a 12 inch circle. Wrap the crust around your rolling pin. It will unroll onto a pie plate measuring 9 inches. Carefully press the crust into your pie plate without stretching it. Trim the bottom crust to match the edge of the pie dish. Return the pastry-lined plate back into the refrigerator.
3. In a large bowl, combine sugar and cornstarch. Add blueberries and strawberries. Gently toss the fruit mixture to coat. Allow the fruit mixture to sit for 15 minutes.
4. Pre-heat the oven at 375 degrees F. (190 degrees C). To preheat the oven, place a baking tray in it.
5. Roll out the remaining dough to make the top crust. Pour the berry mixture into the pie plate lined with pastry. Trim the edges of the top crust and place it over the filling, leaving 1/2 inch overhang. Fold the top crust over the bottom crust and press lightly to seal. To allow steam to escape, crimp the edges of the crust and make vents on the top. Cover the edges of the pan with foil to prevent them from over-browning.
6. Bake the tray in a preheated oven for 25 minutes. Continue baking until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will take about 20 more minutes.
