Janet and Allys Berry Manor Inn Four-Berry Pie
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fine salt
- 1 heaping teaspoon sugar
- 1 1/2 cups solid vegetable shortening, cold
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cold
- 2 cups blueberries (fresh or fresh frozen)
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 2 cups blackberries
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling the dough
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup minute tapioca
- Dash of fresh lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, finely diced, cold
- To make the crust, mix the flour, salt, and sugar together in a medium bowl.
- Cut the shortening into pieces and then cut into the dry ingredients until the mixture is sandy, with only a few larger pieces remaining.
- Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the butter into the mixture.
- Add 1/4 cup ice-cold water, and mix with the dough.
- Continue to add water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough sticks together and forms a ball.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal balls, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate while you make the filling.
- Preheat the oven to 450F.
- To make the filling, gently toss the berries with the flour in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix in the sugar, tapioca, and lemon juice.
- Put a large piece of plastic wrap (larger than the pie plate) on the counter and sprinkle it with flour.
- Set one of the dough balls in the center of the plastic wrap and cover with a second piece of plastic wrap.
- Roll the dough between the plastic wrap until it forms a round about 13 inches in diameter.
- Remove the top piece of plastic wrap and flip the dough into a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate.
- Repeat the rolling process with the top crust, making it about 12 inches in diameter.
- Put the filling in the bottom crust.
- Scatter the butter on top.
- Put the top crust over the filling.
- Roll the edge of the top crust under the bottom crust, pinch to seal the pie, and flute the edges.
- Make several small slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
- Set the pie plate on a baking sheet and cover the edges of the pie with strips of foil.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Then lower the oven temperature to 425F, and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is just bubbling through the slits, 45 to 50 minutes.
- (If the edge of the crust is not browning well, remove the foil for the last 10 minutes or so of the baking time.)
- Let cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
