This week’s recipe for Cook the Book Fridays comes from Dorie Greenspan’s cookbook, Everyday Dorie. Mixed Berry Pie was the perfect multi-day recipe for this not-quite-back-to-normal-recovering-from-major-surgery baker. I made the pie pastry one day and assembled it the next – and it was a great way to take advantage of VERY local berries:
- Backyard blackberries
- Locally sourced mulberries
- Jostaberries from a friend’s allotment garden
- Local frozen wild blueberries
I mean, if that doesn’t scream SUMMER to you, I don’t know what does!
I very rarely make a double-crusted pie (too much fuss when you can just make a galette) so I was worried that this would be too much of a challenge but I took it slowly (helps to work with cold but pliable pastry) and it seemed to be ok!
A little rough around the edges but it baked up beautifully and it didn’t leak!
As you can see, we didn’t like this at all 😉
Another winner from Dorie!

This looks really amazing. The recipe works well with the local summer blueberries you use.
All those lovely berries sounds wonderful. It is good to make a pie once in a while.
I think yours turned out great! We loved it too…and I am not a pie person haha!
you had the best berry blend…I’d scrape my plate clean, too!
