Home cooking from a simpler time
Boysenberry Pie
2-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup butter-flavored Crisco
2 TBL beaten egg
1-1/2 tsp cider vinegar
Water to make 1/2 cup liquid
2 pounds of frozen boysenberries, thawed and drained
2/3 cup of juice reserved from berries
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 TBL butter
For crusts, mix dry ingredients, cut in cold shortening, and mix liquid in by hand. Divide dough and roll two 9" crusts. Place one in pan and reserve other for the top.
Mix sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon with a little reserved juice to form a paste. Then add rest of juice and cook until it bubbles and thickens slightly. It will be a syrup rather than a paste. Add butter and stir until it melts. Add berries and stir.
Fill pie crust with filling. If there is too much juice, put all the berries in the pie and discard some of the juice. Place reserved crust on top and crimp edges.
Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Internal temperature should be 180 degrees.
