Triple Berry Pot Pies Recipes

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 small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup blueberries, raspberries, sugar and cornstarch. Cook and stir until mixture starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in strawberries, butter and remaining 1 cup blueberries. Transfer berry mixture to a bowl; cool to room temperature., Preheat oven to 425°. On a work surface, unroll crusts. Cut 8 circles with a 4-in. biscuit or cookie cutter. Press crusts onto bottom and up sides of ungreased muffin cups. Spoon berry mixture into muffin cups. Bake until filling is bubbly and crust golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool.

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:

• Adjust oven rack to lower position. Heat oven to 425°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper; set aside.
• On lightly floured surface, carefully unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry. Use fork to prick dough about every 2 inches. Use sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut out 4 circles, about 4 1/2 inches each. Place circles on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining sheet of puff pastry.
• In small bowl, beat egg and milk together. Lightly brush pastry rounds with egg mixture and sprinkle with 3 tablespoons sugar. Bake 15 minutes or until golden and puffed. Remove from cookie sheet and place on wire rack.
• In 3-quart saucepan, mix blackberries, 1 cup of the raspberries, 1 cup of the blueberries and 3/4 cup water. Cover and heat to boiling over medium heat. When berries are boiling, remove lid and heat 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until a few berries burst.
• In small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water. Stir cornstarch mixture, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, lemon peel, lemon juice, salt and nutmeg into saucepan. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Cook 2 minutes or until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in remaining berries.
• Divide berry mixture evenly among eight 8- or 9-ounce ramekins or eight 10-ounce custard cups. Top each with warm puff pastry round and serve immediately. (To serve later, spoon berry mixture into ramekins or custard cups. Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days. Before serving, bake pastry rounds as directed above. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Uncover ramekins and place on cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes or until hot. Top each with warm puff pastry round.)

Steps:

• Ease one disc of pie dough into an ungreased 9-inch pie pan. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
• Combine the brown sugar and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Rub together until fully incorporated. Add the cornstarch, nutmeg and salt and mix well. Add the raspberries, blackberries and blueberries and gently toss to coat with the sugar mixture. Set aside.
• To make a stencil, print out a Pi symbol that is about 4 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches. Trace the symbol onto the back of a paper plate. Cut out the symbol. You now have your template.
• Place a disc of dough on a lightly floured surface. Lightly flour the pie crust and place the template in the center. Cut out the Pi symbol and remove it carefully from the disc. Leave the remaining dough on the work surface.
• Add the lemon juice to the bowl of berries and gently toss until incorporated.
• Remove the pie pan from the refrigerator and spoon the berry mixture into it. Top the pie with the disc of dough you cut the Pi symbol from. Seal the edges and use a paring knife trim away any excess dough. Place the pie in the freezer.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly dust your work surface again with flour if needed. Place the third disc of dough on the surface. Punch out six each of the following, making the digits about 2 inches high: 3 •̣ 1 4.
• Make an egg wash by beating the egg and 1 tablespoon water until smooth in a small bowl. Remove the pie from the freezer and brush the top with the egg wash. Place the numbers and dots around the edges of the pie in this order 3 • 14, repeating until you have used them all. Brush the top with egg wash again.
• Place the pie pan on a baking sheet. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 50 minutes. Allow the pie to cool completely on the sheet pan before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the blueberries, strawberries, and sliced bananas into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with the sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and gluten; mix gently. Pour the fruit mixture into the pie shell, cover with the top crust, and pinch the seams shut. Cut slits in the top crust with a knife to create slots for the steam. Place the pie onto a baking sheet to catch drips.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 35 minutes.
