Five Berry Spiced Pie
Ingredients
Cooking Time: 30 -35 Mins
- For the Artisanal Crust:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water - For the Berry Filling:
3 cups fresh mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and cranberries)
4 tbsp Auntie Rana’s Five Berry Spiced Jam
1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste depending on berry sweetness)
2 tbsp cornstarch (or flour)
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg - For the Topping (Optional):
1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
2 tbsp coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Cooking Directions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and cut them into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide into two disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Berry Filling: In a saucepan, combine fresh berries, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juices (about 5–7 minutes). Add cornstarch and stir until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in Auntie Rana’s Five Berry Spiced Jam to enhance the flavor with its spiced sweetness. Let the filling cool.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully press it into the dish, trimming any overhang.
- Add the Filling: Pour the cooled berry mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
- Top the Pie: Roll out the second disk of dough. For an artisanal look, create a lattice design or use decorative cutters to make shapes for the top crust. Lay it over the filling and seal the edges with a crimped or braided design.
- Egg Wash and Sugar: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a golden, sparkling finish.
- Bake the Pie: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie on the center rack and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours to let the filling set. Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Enjoy: This delightful pie, infused with Auntie Rana’s Five Berry Spiced Jam, brings together a perfect balance of fruity sweetness and warm spices for a dessert that's both comforting and elegant.
