How To Make black & blue berry pie

  • Step 1
    Crust: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt; cut in the shortening until mixture resembles course crumbs.
  • Step 2

  • Step 3
    On a floured surface, roll 2/3 of the dough out to an 18x14" rectangle. Carefully place onto the bottom and up the sides of a 13x9x2" glass baking dish.
  • Step 4
    Filling: Combine berries, sugar and flour. Pour into crust.
  • Step 5
    Use the remaining crust to make lattice strips, place over filling. Brush pastry with half and half.
  • Step 6
    Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for another hour or until filling is bubbly. Cool completely. Store in refrigerator.
