Plum Berry Pie

Desert | May 20, 2015 | By

When I was younger, I loved flipping through cookbooks and tagging recipes that looked exciting and tasty. I would never really consider the level of expertise they required; I just wanted to make something interesting. This yielded mixed results, but the fun, for me, was the cooking experience. I remember deciding to make an extravagant apple pie for desert one night, after finding the recipe in a Williams-Sonoma cookbook. And although I had never even made dough before, I decided to give it a shot and it actually turned out quite well. I continued to experiment with recipes and now pies have become a special occasion desert for us. This plum berry one I made on Monday night for Maggie’s arrival home from the UK. While I’m more hesitant to jump into complex recipes than when I was small, pie is something special I love to make, which is always much appreciated and well worth the effort.

Ingredients:

Two pie crusts (I used Martha Stewart’s Pate Brisee recipe which can be found here: http://www.marthastewart.com/317858/pate-brisee-pie-dough)

5-6 plums

1 pkg (6 oz) raspberries

1 large handful strawberries, sliced

1/2 cup blueberries

Juice of 1/2 a lemon

1 tsp cinnamon

2 tbsp sugar

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

2. Mix together the fruit, lemon juice, cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl.

4. Pour fruit into the crust, mounding it slightly in the middle.
