Berry Pie For April Fools Day Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare gelatin according to package directions. Refrigerate until partially set, about 2 hours. Stir in berries. Pour into six tall drink or soda glasses. Insert a straw into each glass. Refrigerate until set.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange tart shells on a baking sheet.
• Combine pumpkin puree, whipped topping, sugar, vanilla extract, cloves, and nutmeg in a large bowl; mix well by hand for 1 minute.
• Spoon 2/3 of the pumpkin filling into the tart shells. Refrigerate remaining pumpkin filling.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling starts to puff out and sag into the shell, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool until set, about 1 hour.
• Place a dab of cold filling in the center of each cooled tart shell. Top each tart with some mixed berries, whipped cream, and a dash of cinnamon.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
• Mix blueberries and cornstarch together in a bowl until all the blueberries are coated. Add sugar, orange juice, orange zest, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to blueberries; stir until well mixed.
• Press 1 pie crust into the prepared pie dish. Brush the bottom crust with ½ of the beaten egg white. Pour blueberry mixture into the pie crust.
• Lay the second crust over the blueberry filling, crimping the 2 crusts together to seal. Cut 4 1/2-inch slits into the top crust. Brush the top crust with the remaining egg wash. Cover crust edges with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 50 to 60 minutes.

Steps:

• Place bottom crust in pie pan.
• Fill tightly with cotton balls.
• Cut a few slashes in top crust & place over cotton.
• Crimp edges as you would for pie.
• Drizzle a small amount of jelly on top crust where filling "would run over".
• Bake in 350 oven on bottom rack, watching very carefully till pie looks done. (I am not sure this would work in an electric oven).

Steps:

• Combine the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the water over part of the mixture, then gently toss with a fork. Push moistened portion to the side of the bowl. Repeat, using 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until all is moistened. Divide the dough in half. Form each half into a ball and flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Transfer one piece of dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough from the center to the edges to form a 12-inch circle. Wrap the crust around the rolling pin. Unroll it onto a 9-inch pie plate. Ease the crust into the pie plate, being careful not to stretch it. Trim the bottom crust evenly with the rim of the pie plate, and return the pastry-lined pie plate to the refrigerator.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries; gently toss until berries are coated. Allow fruit mixture to stand for about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
• Roll out the remaining pastry for the top crust. Stir the berry mixture and pour the filling into the pastry-lined pie plate. Place the top crust over the pie and trim the edges, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold the top crust under the bottom crust, pressing lightly to seal. Crimp the edges of the crust and cut vents in the top to allow steam to escape. To prevent over-browning, cover the edge of the pie with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven on the baking tray for 25 minutes. Remove the foil.
• Bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water and lemon juice until smooth. Add berries; stir gently. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Remove from the heat; cool. , Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom crust. Add filling. Roll out remaining pastry; make a lattice crust. Seal and flute edges. Cover edges loosely with foil. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes Reduce heat to 350°. Remove foil; bake 40-50 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and top with wire racks.
• Make the cinnamon sugar tortillas: Brush both sides of each tortilla with the melted butter and sprinkle both sides liberally with the cinnamon and sugar. Arrange 2 tortillas on each of the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake the tortillas, flipping halfway, until slightly crisp, 10-15 minutes.
• Make the ground "beef": Add the walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon to a food processor. Pulse several times until the walnuts are broken down to the consistency of ground beef. Transfer to a large bowl, add the melted chocolate, and fold with a rubber spatula until the walnut mixture is fully coated in the chocolate. Set aside until ready to assemble the pizza.
• Make the shredded "cheese": In a medium bowl, mix the shredded coconut with the yellow and orange food colorings until the coconut is evenly colored. Set aside until ready to use.
• Make the fruit "salsa": Add the kiwi, strawberries, apple, and mint to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Set aside until ready to use.
• Make the blueberry "olives": Carefully slice each blueberry in half. Punch out the center of each half with a small round pastry tip to resemble a sliced olive. Set aside until ready to use.
• To assemble, place a cinnamon sugar tortilla on a work surface. Top with half of the ground "beef" mixture and spread evenly to cover the tortilla. Sprinkle with a generous handful of shredded "cheese". Top with another tortilla and spread ½ cup of strawberry jam all over the tortilla. Top with another generous sprinkle of shredded "cheese", a large spoonful of fruit "salsa", a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkling of chopped fresh mint, and blueberry "olives". Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Enjoy!
