It's almost that time of year! Pie time, or I guess we should call it Thanksgiving. It's one of our family favorite holidays. We get our thankful tree up on the wall and the kids love writing on leaves the things they are grateful for. We do love all the cooking of Thanksgiving as well, but we really go all out on our pies. 

This triple berry pie is a recipe we perfected a few years ago and it hits the spot every time. Enjoy!

Triple Berry Pie

Ingredients:

  • Double crusts for one 9'' pie pan
  • 7 cups frozen berry mix
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice (full lemon)
  • Lemon zest
  • 4 Tbsp cornstarch - may need a touch more
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 egg white, beaten with a fork

Instructions:

  • Add the berries, sugars, lemon zest and lemon juice to a large saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, until warm and juicy, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    • Mix in cornstarch and stir into berries and allow to simmer until thickened, about 4-5 minutes. You want the berry mixture to be thick and not runny.

    • Remove from heat and stir in the butter. Pour the berry mixture into an unbaked pie shell. Add a lattice top (or whatever kind of top you'd like). Brush a thin layer of beaten egg white over the top of the pie and sprinkle lightly with sugar.

    • Bake at 400 degrees F for 45 minutes. Check it after about 25 minutes and place a piece of tinfoil over the pie to prevent the crust from burning.

    • Remove to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool. You can serve it immediately, but I wouldn't recommend it. Much better when it has been allowed to really set.

    Serving Tip: Let cool overnight and then heat up prior to serving! Makes it taste so much better :)
