BLUEBERRY RASPBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Mash shortening into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture is crumbly. Gradually add cold water as needed, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Turn dough out onto a flat work surface dusted with flour. Divide dough in half and form each half into a ball. Roll dough ball from center to edges into a circle 2 inches larger than the pie plate and about 1/8 inch thick. Wrap dough around rolling pin, starting on one side of the circle. Unroll over pie plate and trim dough. Roll remaining dough ball into a crust to fit the top of the pie and set aside.
• Beat egg white and 1 tablespoon water; brush over bottom of crust and set aside.
• Combine 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon peel, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a bowl. Gently stir blueberries and raspberries into the mixture to coat; pour into the crust. Top with reserved pie crust. Brush top of pie crust with 1 tablespoon water; sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over the moistened top. Cut a few slits into top crust with a sharp knife.
• Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 45 minutes. Set pie onto wire rack to cool completely before refrigerating.

BLUEBERRY, RASPBERRY & BLACKBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Toss berries with sugar and tapioca in large bowl. Let stand 15 min.
• Line 9-inch pie plate with 1 crust as directed on package for two-crust pie; fill with berry mixture. Dot with butter.
• Cut second pie crust into 10 (1/2-inch-wide) strips with pastry wheel or knife. Place 5 of the strips over filling. Weave lattice crust with remaining strips by folding back alternate strips as each cross-strip is added. Fold trimmed edge of lower crust over ends of strips. Seal and flute edge.
• Bake 45 to 50 min. or until juices form bubbles that burst slowly. Cool.

BLUEBERRY LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• Pate Brisee: Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor to combine. Pulse in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With machine running, add 1/2 cup ice water in a slow, steady stream, just until dough holds together. To test, squeeze a small amount together; if it is crumbly, add up to 1/4 cup more ice water, a little at a time. Do not process more than 30 seconds.
• Turn out dough onto a clean surface and divide into three equal pieces. Place each on a piece of plastic, flatten into disks, and wrap tightly. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before using. Dough may be stored, frozen, up to 1 month.
• Filling: Preheat oven to 425 degrees with rack in center. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place on rack to preheat.
• In a medium bowl, gently toss together blueberries, lemon zest and juice, sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, and butter.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to a 13-inch round; fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate while making lattice. Roll out a second disk of dough to an 11-inch square. Trim edges, then cut square into ten 1-inch-wide strips; repeat with remaining disk.
• Assemble lattice on a parchment-lined unrimmed baking sheet. You will be alternating between double strips of dough and a single strip to create this pattern. Lay two strips, touching one another, diagonally across the center of the parchment. Lay another strip on top of the two strips, going diagonally in the opposite direction. Continue weaving, following the pattern of double and single strips in opposite diagonal directions. You will need to fold back double strips as you work to lay the single strips, then unfold them to weave a lattice pattern. You may have some dough strips left over. Transfer sheet to freezer until lattice is well chilled, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer blueberry mixture to prepared pie dish. Brush edges of crust with egg wash. Place chilled lattice over filling; press edges to seal with bottom crust. Using kitchen shears, trim dough to a 1-inch overhang. Tuck overhang under so edges are flush with rim. Brush lattice with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
• Bake on preheated baking sheet 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees and continue baking until filling is bubbling and crust is evenly browned (if browning too quickly, tent edges with foil), 60 to 75 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

BLUEBERRY RASPBERRY LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. In medium bowl, cut shortening into flour and salt, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
• Gather pastry into a ball. Divide pastry in half and shape into two flattened rounds on lightly floured surface. Roll pastry into circle 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch pie plate with floured rolling pin. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side.
• In large bowl, mix sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Gently stir in blueberries and raspberries. Spoon berry mixture into pastry-lined pie plate. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Cut butter into small pieces; sprinkle over berry mixture.
• Roll second round of pastry; cut into strips 1/2 to 1 inch wide. (Use a pastry wheel for decorative strips.) Place 5 to 7 strips across filling in pie plate. Weave a cross-strip through center by first folding back every other strip going the other way. Continue weaving until lattice is complete, folding back alternate strips each time cross-strip is added. (To save time, do not weave strips. Simply lay second half of strips across first strips.) Trim ends of strips. Fold trimmed edge of bottom pastry over ends of strips, building up a high edge. Seal and flute.
• Cover lattice top with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil for last 10 minutes of baking. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juice begins to bubble through lattice crust.

BLUEBERRY LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• Prepare dough: To mix the dough by hand, combine the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and stir well to combine. Cut the butter into 1-tablespoon pieces and add to the dry ingredients. Toss once or twice to coat the pieces of butter. Then using your hands or a pastry blender, break the butter into tiny pieces and pinch and squeeze it into the dry ingredients. Occasionally reach down to the bottom of the bowl and mix all the ingredients evenly together. Continue rubbing the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles a coarse-ground cornmeal and no large pieces of butter remain visible. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and pour over the flour and butter mixture. Stir in with a fork until the dough begins to hold together but still appears somewhat dry. Scatter a teaspoon of flour on the work surface and scrape the dough out onto it. Press and knead the dough quickly 3 or 4 times, until it is smooth and uniform.
• To mix the dough in the food processor, combine the dry ingredients in the work bowl fitted with a metal blade. Pulse 3 times at 1-second intervals to mix. Cut the butter into 1-tablespoon pieces and add to the work bowl. Process, pulsing repeatedly at 1-second intervals, until the mixture is fine and powdery, resembles a coarse-ground cornmeal, and no large pieces of butter remain visible, about 15 pulses in all. Add the eggs to the work bowl and pulse 10 times or so, until the dough forms a ball. Scatter a teaspoon of flour on the work surface and scrape the dough out onto it. Press and knead the dough quickly 3 or 4 times, until it is smooth and uniform.
• Press the dough into two equal-sized disks. Sandwich the disks of dough between two pieces of plastic wrap and press them into 6-inch circles. Refrigerate the dough until firm, or until you are ready to use it, at least 1 hour.
• To make the filling, combine 1 cup of the blueberries with the sugar in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is melted and the mixture is very liquid -- about 5 minutes. Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and whisk the blueberry and sugar mixture into it. Return everything to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, over low heat, until the mixture comes to a boil, thickens and becomes clear. If it does not become clear, continue to cook over low heat for a few more minutes, until it does. Pour into a large bowl and stir in the remaining filling ingredients, except the blueberries, then add the remaining 3 cups blueberries. Cool.
• Set a rack at the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees. Roll out the bottom crust and arrange in pan, or pans. Trim edge even with rim of pan. Pour the cooled filling into the bottom crust. Roll remaining dough into a rectangle and cut 8 small strips to finish the top of each pie. Apply the strips, severing excess dough at edge of pans, 4 in each direction, diagonal to each other. If you wish, sprinkle the top of the pie with sugar.
• Place the pie in the oven on the lower rack and reduce the temperature to 375 degrees. Bake for about 40 minutes, until the crust is baked through and a deep golden brown and the filling is gently bubbling. If the top crust has not colored sufficiently after 30 minutes of baking, move the pie to the upper rack of the oven for the last 10 minutes. Cool the pie on a rack.

BLUEBERRY LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• To make the crust, combine the flour, 2 teaspoons of sugar and salt in a large bowl. Use your fingers to rub in the butter and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually and lightly mix in just enough ice water so the dough can be gently pressed into a ball. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• To make the filling, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine the sugar, cinnamon, flour and orange zest. Place the blueberries in a large bowl and toss with the sugar mixture.
• Divide the dough in half and roll out 1 piece on a lightly floured surface and fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Place the filling in the dish. Roll out the remaining dough, cut 1/2-inch-wide strips and weave into a lattice top. Seal, trim and crimp the edges. Brush the top pastry with the egg wash and sprinkle it with the remaining sugar.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 and bake until crust is browned and filling is set, about 20 minutes longer. Cool on a rack. Cut into wedges and serve.
