Steps:
- Roll out the first chilled pie crust into a 12-inch circle. Gently place the crust into a 9 or 10-inch deep pie dish, carefully pressing the dough into the bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400º F with a rack in the middle.
- Remove the second crust from the fridge and roll into a 12-inch circle. Using a pastry wheel or pizza cutter, cut the dough lengthwise into stripes. Use a star cookie cutter to cut some stars. Place the designs on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, and freeze while you prepare the filling.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the potato starch and sugar. Reserve.
- Place the strawberries in a large bowl and the blueberries in a medium bowl. Add ⅔ of the sugar mixture to the strawberries and the remaining ⅓ to the blueberries. Mix with a spoon so the berries are coated with the mixture.
- Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the strawberries and the remaining 2 teaspoons to the blueberries. Mix to combine. Let the berries sit for at least 5 minutes to release the excess liquids.
- Fold a piece of aluminum foil to form a thick and long strip. Place it into the pie dish, blocking off a 90° wedge of the crust. Spread the blueberries into that smaller section and the strawberries into the larger section. Carefully remove the foil, arranging the berries so they don't invade each other's spaces.
- Remove the flag designs from the freezer and arrange on top of the berries. The stars go over the blueberries and the strips over the strawberries.
- Make an egg wash by whisking one egg with 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush over the crust and designs. If desired, sprinkle the crust and designs with sugar.
- Cover the edges of the pie with a crust shield or foil.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the shield and lower the heat to 375º F. Continue baking for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least one hour before serving.

Steps:
- Line a 9-inch pie plate with bottom crust; trim pastry even with edge. Set aside. In a large bowl, gently combine cherries and blueberries. Combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon; stir into fruit. Let stand for 10 minutes. Pour into crust; dot with butter. Roll out remaining pastry into a 10-inch circle. Cut pastry in half. Cut one half into two wedges. Using a 1-inch star cookie cutter, cut out stars from one wedge. Place cut out pastry wedge over filling. Discard cut out stars. Cut remaining pastry pieces into 1/2-inch-wide strips; position over filling to resemble a flag. Seal and flute edges. Sprinkle pastry with additional sugar. Cover edges with foil. Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F; bake 35 to 40 minutes longer or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack.
AMERICAN FLAG TART
You'll need two 4-by-14-inch tarts to create the flag. One tart has seven rows of berries and the other has six rows, so sort the berries according to size, using the smaller ones for the seven-row tart. We used golden raspberries for the white stripes; red raspberries would work as well.

Steps:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out a disc of pate sucree 1/8 inch thick to fit a 3 3/4-by-13 1/4-inch fluted, rectangular tart pan with a removable bottom. Brush off excess flour with a dry pastry brush. Carefully transfer dough to tart pan, tuck dough into the edges, gently pressing along sides, and allow excess dough to overhang the edges. Trim the dough by running your rolling pin over the dough against the edges. Gently shape the edges by pressing the length of your forefinger against each flute along the sides. Prick all over the bottom with the tines of a fork. Repeat with remaining disc of dough. Transfer to the refrigerator, and chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove chilled tart shells from refrigerator, and line each with a piece of parchment paper that overhangs the edges by at least 2 inches. Fill parchment with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until just starting to color, about 20 minutes. Remove parchment and weights from tart shells, and return tart shells to oven. Continue baking until tart bottom is golden, about 20 minutes more. Transfer tart shells to a cooling rack, and allow to cool completely. Carefully remove tart shells from pan.
- In a small bowl in the microwave or set over a pan of simmering water, heat chocolate until it is just melted, about 1 1/2 minutes; stir until smooth. Using the back of a spoon, line each tart shell with chocolate. Refrigerate to set, at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat apricot and raspberry jams in two separate saucepans with about 1 tablespoon water in each; strain into separate small bowls.
- Make top tart: Remove one lined tart shell from refrigerator and spread 1/3 of the creme fraiche filling over the bottom. Arrange 3 rows of unglazed raspberries 2/3 the length of the tart, leaving space between each row and at the top and bottom edges for 4 more rows. Dust with confectioners' sugar until raspberries are completely coated. Toss blueberries in a bowl with strained apricot jam. Fill left third of tart shell with a layer of glazed blueberries arranged snugly in rows; top with another layer of blueberries. Toss half the remaining raspberries with the strained raspberry jam, and carefully fill empty rows with some of the glazed raspberries, rinsing your hands as needed.
- Make bottom tart: Remove remaining tart shell from refrigerator, and spread a third of the creme fraiche filling over the bottom. Arrange 3 rows of remaining unglazed raspberries, starting at the top edge and leaving space between each and at the bottom edge for 4 more rows. Dust with confectioners' sugar until raspberries are completely coated. Fill empty rows with remaining glazed raspberries.
- Arrange tarts on a large board or tray to resemble the flag, and serve with remaining creme fraiche filling on the side. Finished tarts will hold at room temperature for several hours.

Tips:
- To ensure a flaky crust, use cold butter and ice water, and work the dough quickly to avoid overworking it.
- If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of ice water at a time until it comes together.
- If the dough is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it is no longer sticky.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and will prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
- When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and roll it out evenly to a 12-inch circle.
- Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate and trim the edges.
- To prevent the bottom crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
- When adding the filling, be sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edges of the crust.
- Bake the pie at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
