EASY BERRY PIE WITH FROZEN BERRIES

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."

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

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.
