- 1 ounce fresh mint
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 quart heavy cream
- 2 pounds all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 pound shortening
- 2 pounds whole blackberries
- 2 pounds strawberries, sliced
- 2 pounds rhubarb, sliced into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- 4 cups sugar

- For the whipped cream: Combine the mint, 1 cup water and 1/2 cup of the sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook until sugar dissolves.
- Let the mixture cool before using.
- In a large bowl, whip the cream and remaining sugar until it forms stiff peaks.
- Add the simple syrup and gently fold into the cream until combined.
- Chill until ready to use.
- For the crust: Mix the flour, salt, pepper and sugar together in a mixing bowl.
- Add the shortening and mix with hands until it comes together into pieces the size of bb's.
- Add cold water little by little until the dough comes together (you can always add water but you can't take it away).
- Ball up the dough into 6 baseball-size crusts and roll each one out.
- For the filling: Put the blackberries, strawberries, rhubarb, lemon zest and juice into a large bowl.
- Add the sugar and tapioca starch and combine.
- To assemble: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line five 8-inch deep pie pans with the pie crust.
- Divide the filling evenly among the pans.
