Triple Berry Pie

Triple Berry Pie is a must at the Crow's Nest every Thanksgiving. It is the pie everyone requests! I buy my Berries from Costco. "Kirkland: Natures Three Berries" If you do not have access to this use three different frozen berry mixes that do not have strawberries in them. A good raspberry, black berry and blueberry mix is what you are looking for.

Prepare your pie crust as usual. If you want a good pie crust recipe see "The Best Pie Crust Ever," under Pie on the left of the blog.

1 Cup Sugar
2 and 1/2 TBSP Ultra Set by Ingredion or 3 TBSP all purpose flour
5 to 6 cups Triple Berry Frozen Berries
1TBSP Lemon Juice

In a large separate bowl, add the dry ingredients first and mix well. Then add your Berries and Lemon Juice. Now Mix well again.

Dot the bottom of your crust with real butter. Add the berry mixture and dot the top with butter too. Be careful not to fill your pie dishes too full or they will bubble over and burn in your oven. Berry pies are the worst for boiling over, so beware! Then apply your top crust prepared with vent holes. Seal and Bake 375 degrees F. 45 min. for fresh fruit and about 60 min for frozen.

Important: To prevent overbrowning on the edges, cover the edge of the pie with foil and remove the foil the last few minutes for edge to brown.

Remember! The fresher your ingredients are the better your pie tastes!
