TRIPLE BERRY MINI PIES

Triple Berry Mini Pies image

I came up with these berry hand pies one summer day when I had an abundance of fresh blueberries, gooseberries and strawberries. The blend of flavors makes for a mouthwatering treat for breakfast, dessert or anytime in between! I typically make my crust from scratch, and I recommend gooseberries instead of raspberries for this recipe. -Brigette Kutschma, Lake Geneva
