MIXED BERRY PIE

Category: Pies - Fruit

2 pre-made pie crusts
1 cup granulated sugar
pinch salt
5 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp cinnamon
4 cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries)
1/2 cup Chambord or other raspberry liqueur (or sub water, if desired)
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp butter, cold, chopped
1-2 tbsp milk
2 tbsp sugar mixed with 1/2 tsp cinnamon, for topping (optional)

If your berries are frozen, let them thaw. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large saucepan, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir in your berries, liqueur, and lemon. Bring just to a boil, simmer until thickened (this should be pretty quick). Pour into your prepared pie shell. Sprinkle butter over. Top with second crust. Cut slits in your crust to let steam escape. Brush crust with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture if desired. Bake about 45 minutes, until crust is browned.
