Easy Berry Pie with Frozen Berries image

Using frozen berries means you can make this easy pie year-round. Precooking the filling means you get perfect consistency (no more runny pies) and the cook time on the crust is perfect! I prefer to spell things in the top crust like "I love you."

Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (15 ounce) package pastry for a 9-inch double-crust pie
8 cups frozen mixed berries
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup berry-flavored liqueur (such as Whidbey)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon half-and-half
1 large egg yolk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 of the pie crusts.
  • Combine berries, sugar, cornstarch, liqueur, and lemon juice in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally as berries thaw and the mixture thickens, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat when it reaches the consistency of a runny jam or a sundae fruit topping.
  • Pour the mixture into the pie crust. Moisten the edge of the crust with cold water, top with the second crust, and seal by pinching. Poke at least 3 holes in the top crust.
  • Whip half-and-half and egg yolk together in a bowl with a fork. Brush over pie crust. Place pie on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool so filling becomes solid, about 1 hour.
