BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Unfold one of the pie crusts and press into a 9-inch pie dish.
• Combine the berries with the flour in a large bowl and toss to coat. Add the sugar, a squeeze of lemon and a dash of salt. Toss to combine. Pour the berries into the prepared pie dish.
• Cut the remaining pie crust into 1-inch-wide strips. Arrange the strips on top of the pie in a criss-cross pattern to form a lattice. Bake until the filling is bubbly, 45 to 60 minutes. Serve.

BLACKBERRY AND BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Cut shortening into 2 cups flour and salt until the shortening is the size of small peas. Sprinkle in water 1 tablespoon at a time until flour is moistened. Gather into a ball, wrap with plastic, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Divide the dough in half and roll out half on a lightly floured board. Line a 9-inch pie dish with the pastry. Roll out the top crust and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Mix sugar, 1/3 cup flour, and cinnamon. Stir in berries to coat. Pour the filling into the pastry-lined pan. Sprinkle with lemon juice and dot with butter. Cover with top crust; cut slits in the top to vent the steam. Seal the crust and flute the edges.
• Cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent over-browning. Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbling, about 45 minutes. Remove foil during the last 12 minutes of baking.

BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• On a lightly floured piece of parchment paper, roll out one disk of dough to a 12-inch round. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off excess flour; fit dough into a 9-inch glass pie plate, pressing it into edges. Trim dough to a 1/2-inch overhang all around. Fold edge of dough over or under, and crimp as desired. Roll out remaining dough in the same manner; transfer dough (on parchment) to a baking sheet. Chill pie shell and dough until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Place blueberries in a large bowl; with your hands, crush about 1/2 cup of berries, letting them fall into the bowl as you work. Add sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice; stir to combine. Spoon mixture into chilled pie shell, mounding berries slightly in the center. Dot with butter. Remove dough from refrigerator, and place over blueberry filling. Tuck edge of top dough between edge of bottom dough and rim of pan. Using your fingers, gently press both layers of dough along the edge to seal, and crimp as desired.
• Using a paring knife, cut several vents in top of dough to allow steam to escape. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and cream. Brush surface with egg wash, being careful not to let it pool. Freeze or refrigerate pie until firm, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees, with rack in lower third.
• Place pie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until crust begins to turn golden, about 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue baking, rotating sheet halfway through, until crust is deep golden brown and juices are bubbling and have thickened, 40 to 50 minutes more. Transfer pie to a wire rack to cool completely. The pie is best eaten the day it is baked, but it can be kept at room temperature, loosely covered with plastic wrap, for up to 2 days.

SUMMER BERRY PIE

Steps:

• Put the flour, butter, icing sugar, ground almonds and zest in a food processor and whizz to crumbs. Mix the yolk with 1 tbsp cold water, then add to the processor and pulse until the dough comes together.
• Split the pastry in half, wrap in cling film, then chill for 30 mins.
• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line a 20cm pie dish with half the pastry, add a sheet of greaseproof paper and baking beans and bake blind for 30 mins. Remove the paper and beans. Mix the berries and cornflour with the extra 2 tbsp icing sugar and a squeeze of orange juice, then pile into the pie base.
• Roll out the remaining pastry until big enough to cover the pie with a slight overlap. Whisk the egg white with a fork, then brush a little around the pastry rim. Carefully lift on the pastry lid, trim the edges and press with fork prongs to seal. Use a 2cm cutter, the large end of a piping nozzle or a bottletop to stamp out a few pastry polka dots - discarding the pastry circles you stamp out. Brush all over with more egg white, then sprinkle generously with granulated sugar and bake for 30 mins until golden and the syrupy fruit has started to bubble out of the polka dots.
• Allow the pie to cool for a few mins before serving hot, or warm or at room temperature, with a dollop of clotted cream, ice cream or drizzle of single cream, if you like.

BLACKBERRY BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll one disk of pie crust out into a rough 13-inch circle. Transfer to a 9 or 10-inch pie dish. Roll the second disk or pie crust out and have it ready.
• In a large bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Add the blueberries and blackberries and gently mix until they are coated with the sugar mixture.
• Dump berry mixture into crust-lined pie dish. Place the other pie crust on top, or form a lattice, and press the bottom and top crusts together to seal. Tuck the ends into the pie dish and crimp crust edges as desired. With a sharp knife, cut slits into the top of the pie for vents (if making a lattice pie, skip this step).
• Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
• Place pie on the prepared sheet pan and bake until pie crust is golden and juices are visibly bubbling through the vents or lattice, about 1 hour. If top crust browns too quickly, cover with foil.
• Let cool completely before serving, for best results. If desired, you can reheat the pie in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.

BLACKBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Toss together the berries, granulated sugar, vanilla and lemon zest and juice in a large bowl. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, unroll one pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie plate. Roll out the other crust on a floured cutting board. Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut the entire crust into rounds, rerolling until all the dough is used (about 28 rounds).
• Sprinkle the cornstarch over the berry mixture and toss to combine. Pour the berry mixture into the crust and spread into an even layer. Dot the top with the butter pieces. Brush the border of the dough lightly with the egg wash. Place the rounds around the border of the pie plate, overlapping them slightly and using the egg wash as an adhesive when necessary. There will be empty space in the center. Crimp the edge of the pie. Brush the entire crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
• Put the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake until the center is set and the crust is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Put on a wire rack to cool completely. Serve at room temperature.
