Preparation

Step 1

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water and lemon juice until smooth.

Add berries, stir gently, bring to a boil, then cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat to cool.

Line a 9" pie pan with bottom crust, pour in filling then apply the top crust. A lattice top is best or be sure to vent the top crust. Seal and flute the edges.

Cover crust edges loosely with foil. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, remove foil and bake 40 -50 minutes longer or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
