Three In One Fruit Patch Pot Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line 1 pie pan with 1 of the pie doughs, and place in the refrigerator. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, orange zest, salt, lemon juice, and butter until combined. Gently add the berries to the bowl, and toss a few times until most are coated with the sugar mixture. Pour the berry mixture into the unbaked pie shell. Top with the second pie dough, folding the edges under and crimping together by pinching with the thumb and forefinger of one hand. With a sharp knife, cut a few slits in the center of the top crust. Refrigerate for 20 minutes, or until the dough is firm. Place pie in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crust is golden all over. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, and bake for an additional 40 to 50 minutes, or until berry juices bubble at center slits. If crust darkens too quickly, cover it with foil. Let pie cool on a wire rack before serving.

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:

• 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:

• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°., Line crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until edge is golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack., Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in berries and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until mixture just comes to a boil; pour into prepared crust. Cool completely on a wire rack.
