Name: Very Berry Triple Fruit Pie
Prep time: 35 min
Total time: 85 min
Ingredients: 1 cup sugar; ¼ cup quick-cooking tapioca; ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg; 2 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened blueberries; 1 ½ cups halved fresh strawberries; 1 cup fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries or blackberries; 1 tablespoon lemon juice; ½ teaspoon almond extract; Pastry for Double-Crust Pie (see recipe below); Milk (optional); Sugar (optional)

Directions

For filling:

Step 1

In a large bowl, stir together 1 cup sugar, the tapioca and ground nutmeg. Stir in blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, lemon juice and almond extract. Gently toss berries until coated. Let mixture stand about 15 minutes or until a syrup forms, gently stirring occasionally. (If using frozen fruit, let mixture stand about 45 minutes or until fruit is partially thawed but still icy.)

Step 2

Meanwhile, prepare Pastry for Double-Crust Pie. Divide pastry in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll one dough portion from center to edge into a 12-inch circle. Wrap pastry circle around rolling pin; unroll into a 9-inch pie plate.
Step 3

Transfer fruit mixture to the pastry-lined pie plate. Trim pastry even with edge of pie plate. Roll the remaining pastry portion into a 12-inch circle. Cut slits in pastry to allow steam to escape. Place pastry on filling; trim to 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold top pastry edge under bottom pastry. Crimp edge as desired. (Or top pie with lattice strips.) If you like, brush top pastry with milk and sprinkle with additional sugar.
Step 4

Bake in a 400° oven for 25 minutes (or 50 minutes for frozen fruit, cover pie with foil for the first 25 minutes). Reduce heat to 350 degree F. Bake pie for 25 to 30 minutes more or until filling is bubbly and pastry is golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Tips

Prepare dough. Wrap in plastic wrap or place in plastic bag; seal. Refrigerate up to 24 hours. Allow to come to room temperature before rolling out for pie.
