Mixed Berry Pie

   This is a recipe a lot like my Blackberry Pie recipe.  wikiHow's recipe is here.  They're where I got this recipe from.  I decided to follow the instructions this time (sort of).  I used frozen fruit, raspberries, black rasperries (or blackberries), and blueberries.  I didn't rinse them off.  There was ice frozen to them.  I figured since I had to add some water anyway, I might as well add that.
   I put 2-1/2 cups of them in a sauce pan with 2/3 of a cup of sugar and a teenie bit of water.  Put the heat to medium.  Mix 1/4 cup water and 2 TB cornstarch together in a small bowl until dissolved, then add it to the fruit.  Stir.  I took it back up to an almost boil.  Then I took it off the heat.


   I used the Pioneer Woman's recipe of pie crust that I had made up day before yesterday and frozen.  I thawed it for...say...40 minutes for the bottom crust.  It was manageable.  I was impatient with the top crust so I only did that one about 15.  It didn't exactly...work.  I should have thawed it for 40 minutes too.
   Preheat the oven to 325 and bake the pie crust for 10 minutes.  Turn it to 375.  Put the filling in the crust.  I took the top crust and cut it into circles with some space in between them.  Then put the pie in the oven and turn it down to 325.  Bake for 25 minutes, or so.
   I brushed some milk on the pie about half way through its cooking (and then forgot to sprinkle sugar.  the exact opposite of what I did last time.)  So then 3 minutes til it was done I sprinkled on the sugar.  You want it to get some brown on the edges.  So I ended up cooking it longer than the three minutes it had left.
   And here it is!

It is seriously tart.  Not necessarily in a bad way.  Next time if I want to make it sweet I would put 1 cup of sugar in it instead of 2/3 cup, or maybe even 1-1/2 cups.  The filling is the perfect consistency.  I didn't add gelatin this time, just the cornstarch.  And the fact that I didn't put too much water in it might have something to do with it.  And I used the correct amount of filling.
