Hi, welcome to my blog! There is nothing like homemade pie at Thanksgiving. Bumbleberry pie has been a family favorite for years. We have had Thanksgivings that there were as many pies as there were people! Lol! Full of delicious strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apples and rhubarb this pie is
sure to please the pie lovers in your family as well! It's great when fresh berries are in season but when they are not I just buy bags of frozen mixed berries. Don't worry about the kind of berries or the ratio, as long as you have 3 cups of mixed berries, plus rhubarb and apples I promise this pie will come out great! You can find frozen rhubarb at Whitehouse Fruit Farm. Also, when using frozen berries I add a little more flour to make sure the pie sets up, but to be perfectly honest, even if your pie is a little runny it will still be delicious! When I just don't have time to make the crust from scratch I will use Pillsbury pie crusts in the refrigerator section of the grocery store. There is nothing wrong with easy!
While you're here feel free to take a look at my Century 21 website. It's a great tool if you are looking for a house. Remember, I've been selling houses for over 26 years and have the "Perfect Recipe for Success!" Let me know if I can help you with any of your real estate needs:)
Blend flour and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
Cut shortening into flour mixture using a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some small pea-sized pieces remaining.
Stir in just enough water with a fork until dough holds together. Divide dough in half and shape into balls. Flatten each ball into a 1/2" round disk, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a lightly floured surface roll out half the dough to fit a 9" pie plate. Transfer dough to pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2" beyond edge of plate.
In a large bowl combine filling ingredients. Pour into crust.
Roll out the remaining dough. Cut into strips. Make a lattice top crust Seal and flute edges.
Mix egg and milk together to create egg wash. Brush top of crust with egg wash. Sprinkle with Sugar in the Raw.
Cover the edges loosely with foil.
Bake 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, remove foil and bake an additional 40-45 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
