Steps:
- Make the crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Split the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla bean seeds and salt. Let cool slightly.
- In a food processor, blend graham crackers until finely ground. Add butter mixture and pulse until well combined. Press mixture into bottom and sides of pie pan. Bake until lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool on a wire rack at least 30 minutes.
- Make the filling:
- Reserve 1/2 cup blueberries for garnish, set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the orange juice, 2/3 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, and salt, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved. Add the remaining 5 1/2 cups blueberries. Stir in the cornstarch and bring to a low boil. Stir constantly, gently mashing the berries with the back of a spoon until broken down and thickened, 1 minute. Remove from heat and spoon into pie crust. If you have extra filling, save to enjoy over yogurt or ice cream. Let the filled pie cool for 15 minutes. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or up to 1 day.
- Finish the pie:
- In a large bowl, beat the cream to very soft peaks. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, and vanilla extract into the cream and beat until soft peaks return. Do not over beat. Spread whipped cream in center of pie, leaving a 1 inch border of visible blueberry filling. Top with reserved blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries in center of pie.

Tips:
- For the Perfect Pie Crust: Use cold butter and water, and handle the dough as little as possible to prevent gluten from forming, which can make the crust tough. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking.
- Blind Bake the Pie Crust: Before filling the pie crust, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes to prevent the crust from becoming soggy. Use pie weights or dried beans to weigh down the parchment paper to ensure the crust bakes evenly.
- Use Fresh Berries: Fresh blueberries are best for this pie, but you can also use frozen berries if fresh ones are not available. If using frozen berries, thaw them before using and drain any excess liquid.
- Sweeten the Pie Filling to Taste: The amount of sugar in the pie filling can be adjusted to your preference. Start with 1/2 cup of sugar and add more if desired, depending on the sweetness of the berries.
- Chill the Pie Before Serving: Let the pie cool completely before serving to allow the filling to set. This will make it easier to slice and serve.

This Red, White, and Blueberry Pie is a stunning and delicious dessert perfect for summer gatherings, potlucks, or holiday celebrations. With its vibrant colors and sweet, juicy filling, this pie is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Follow these tips to ensure your pie turns out perfectly every time.
