Gathering the Ingredients
To create this delightful pie, you’ll need a handful of key ingredients. Make sure to gather ripe strawberries, fresh blueberries, a premade graham cracker pie crust, granulated sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Opt for berries at their peak ripeness for the best flavor.
Preparing the Berries
Before diving into the pie-making process, it’s important to prepare the berries. Start by washing the strawberries and blueberries gently under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towel. Next, hull the strawberries and slice them into even pieces, ensuring they’ll distribute evenly throughout the pie. Don’t forget to remove any stems or leaves from the berries.
Making the Filling
In large saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth. Add 1 cup of strawberries, 1 cup of blueberries and lemon juice. The lemon juice adds a delightful tangy contrast to the sweetness of the berries. Over medium heat, bring to a boil, and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Once mixture starts to thicken, remove from heat, stir in the other half of berries and pour into the pie crust. Chill until set and firm about 2-3 hours. Make this pie a day before serving for best results.
Serving and Enjoying
Serve your strawberry and blueberry pie chilled or at room temperature. For an extra touch of indulgence, pair each slice with whipped cream. Take a moment to savor the delightful combination of sweet and tangy flavors. Yum!
