Triple Berry Pie – Mel’s Kitchen Cafe

This triple berry pie is totally unbelievable! Flaky pie crust is full of a wonderfully thickened filling of candy and tart berries.

Triple berry pie is the pie recipe you by no means knew you wanted! It’s the excellent pie to go with a dessert unfold of richer, heavier pies or desserts.

It’s refreshingly candy and tart, AND it may be made with contemporary or frozen berries!

Triple Berry Pie Filling

The trickiest a part of home made pie is getting the filling to thicken up with out being a soupy mess when the pie is lower and served!

This triple berry pie filling thickens superbly whereas baking with out the necessity to precook the filling!

Triple berry pie filling:

• 5 1/2 cups contemporary or frozen blended berries (I exploit a frozen triple berry mix with raspberries, blackberries and blueberries)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch*
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

*With this quantity of cornstarch, the pie filling thickens completely if the pie is cooled utterly! For those who plan to serve the pie barely heat, improve the cornstarch to five tablespoons. However be certain that to bake the pie lengthy sufficient (longer than you may assume!) or else the filling may have a starchy style and could be runny.

The best way to Make a Lattice Prime for a Pie

A lattice high is so fairly on this triple berry pie. You’ll be able to go for a completely lined high crust – simply be certain that to chop a number of vents within the crust in the event you do.

For a lattice high crust:

1. Roll out the pie dough and lower 1/4- to 1/2-inch strips
2. Lay strips vertically throughout the pie, leaving area in between.
3. Fold up each different strip and place one other pie crust strip perpendicular.
4. Fold down the strips.
5. Carry up all of the strips beneath the perpendicular strip and place one other strip perpendicular.
6. Fold down the strips.
7. Repeat that sample till the lattice high is full.

Lattice Crust Professional Tip: the most important tip for an ideal lattice high is to at all times raise and fold up the strips beneath the perpendicular strip.

Trim the perimeters of the pie to about 1/2-inch and fold up the underside crust excessive of the strips and press gently throughout the pie.

Flute the perimeters.

Stand again.

And admire your beautiful unbaked pie. My goodness! 😍

At this level, you’ll be able to brush the highest with an egg wash for a shinier, extra golden high crust.

Baking This Pie Lengthy Sufficient is Crucial

I can’t state this strongly sufficient: it is extremely essential to bake this triple berry pie lengthy sufficient!

Actually, simply plan on baking it for longer than you assume.

Verify the pie after 45-60 minutes; if the perimeters and/or high are browning too shortly, tent with foil or use a pie crust protect to guard the crust whereas it continues to bake.

In my oven, the pie wants 75-80 minutes to bake absolutely so the filling is thick and syrupy. If the filling is effervescent however continues to be skinny and runny, it wants extra time within the oven.

Relying in your oven, it’s possible you’ll want kind of time. Watch fastidiously and verify usually (ideally by the oven window so the warmth doesn’t escape with each open door verify).

To Cool or To not Cool

I do know that heat berry and apple pie is very valued amongst pie lovers the world over. I get it. I like heat pie, too.

However this pie advantages tremendously from cooling utterly so the filling can thicken completely and correctly. Slices of pie might be warmed for a number of seconds within the microwave if you would like that heat pie vibe.

For those who simply can’t resist serving the pie whereas barely heat, make sure you modify the cornstarch quantity within the recipe notes.

In case your pie filling is runny when serving the pie, it’s very seemingly resulting from needing extra time to bake, extra time to chill, or a bit extra cornstarch within the filling.

A Excellent Pie

This triple berry pie is perfection.

Not solely is it so easy to make (no pre-baking pie crusts or pre-cooking pie submitting!), however it’s a stunner. Each in appears and in style.

(For all you huckleberriers on the market, I’ll usually throw in only a small handful of valuable huckleberries with the opposite berries for slightly wow issue!)

Joyful pie baking! I hope you’re keen on this one. 💗
