Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Purple food coloring (gel or liquid)
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 68 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Granulated sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Gently toss until the berries are evenly coated.
  2. Add a few drops of purple food coloring to the berry mixture and stir until the color is evenly distributed. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar. Add the chilled butter cubes and cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll out each into a long rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Cut each rectangle into long strips of equal width and braid the strips together to form two braids.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a baking sheet lined with parchment paper on the middle rack.
  7. Transfer one braided strip to the edge of a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the sides. Repeat with the second braided strip.
  8. Spoon the prepared berry filling into the pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
  9. Brush the edges of the braided crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  10. Place the pie on the preheated baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  11. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
