EASY BERRY PIE WITH FROZEN BERRIES

Easy Berry Pie with Frozen Berries image

Using frozen berries means you can make this easy pie year-round. Precooking the filling means you get perfect consistency (no more runny pies) and the cook time on the crust is perfect! I prefer to spell things in the top crust like "I love you."

Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) package pastry for a 9-inch double-crust pie
8 cups frozen mixed berries
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup berry-flavored liqueur (such as Whidbey)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon half-and-half
1 large egg yolk

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 of the pie crusts.
Combine berries, sugar, cornstarch, liqueur, and lemon juice in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally as berries thaw and the mixture thickens, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat when it reaches the consistency of a runny jam or a sundae fruit topping.
Pour the mixture into the pie crust. Moisten the edge of the crust with cold water, top with the second crust, and seal by pinching. Poke at least 3 holes in the top crust.
Whip half-and-half and egg yolk together in a bowl with a fork. Brush over pie crust. Place pie on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool so filling becomes solid, about 1 hour.

FROZEN BERRY PIE

This recipe makes two attractive pies using store-bought chocolate crumb crust. I work full-time, so I like the fact that this yummy pie can be made ahead. I serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream, a strawberry and chocolate curls.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use a variety of berries in your pie. Some good options include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
If you don't have fresh berries, you can use frozen berries. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
Be sure to drain the berries well before adding them to the pie crust. This will help prevent the pie from becoming too watery.
If you are using a store-bought pie crust, be sure to pre-bake it according to the package directions.
To make a lattice top crust, roll out the dough into a rectangle. Then, use a sharp knife to cut strips of dough about 1 inch wide. Weave the strips of dough over and under each other to create a lattice pattern.
Before baking the pie, brush the top crust with milk or cream. This will help it to brown nicely.
Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will give the filling time to set.

Conclusion:

Frozen berry pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a pie that is both beautiful and delicious. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
