- Stir together in a large pot:
- 1 c. sugar
- 1/2 c. corn starch
- Add in & stir:
- 1 c. blueberries
- 1 c. strawberries
- 1 c. blackberries
- 1 c. raspberries
- Stir in:
- 1/2 c. juice from berries
- 2 T. lemon juice
Cook over medium heat, stirring often and then constantly as it thickens. It takes time! Be patient with it. Don’t let it scorch. Pour into a pie crust. Place the top crust on and seal. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.
NOTES! Take time to read these! It will help you.
I use frozen berries for this recipe. I thaw them in a strainer so that the juice runs into another bowl so I can use it for the recipe.
If you want to use fresh berries you will need to use 1/2 c. water instead of the juice of the berries.
You can use a microwave to cook this. Use a glass bowl. Stir every 3-5 minutes to start with. You will feel it thickening with each time and you will slowly decrease your time of cooking and stirring. I don’t own a microwave because in my opinion they are bad for you! So I use the pot method.
For people who are GF, use this filling in a GF pie crust or just eat it like this, as a custard!
Some people have made this with a crumb topping of butter, oatmeal, brown sugar, and flour.
I line my oven with tin foil when I make these pies. It seems to want to bubble out of the pie crust.
