Steps:
- Combine the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the water over part of the mixture, then gently toss with a fork. Push moistened portion to the side of the bowl. Repeat, using 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until all is moistened. Divide the dough in half. Form each half into a ball and flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Transfer one piece of dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough from the center to the edges to form a 12-inch circle. Wrap the crust around the rolling pin. Unroll it onto a 9-inch pie plate. Ease the crust into the pie plate, being careful not to stretch it. Trim the bottom crust evenly with the rim of the pie plate, and return the pastry-lined pie plate to the refrigerator.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries; gently toss until berries are coated. Allow fruit mixture to stand for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
- Roll out the remaining pastry for the top crust. Stir the berry mixture and pour the filling into the pastry-lined pie plate. Place the top crust over the pie and trim the edges, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold the top crust under the bottom crust, pressing lightly to seal. Crimp the edges of the crust and cut vents in the top to allow steam to escape. To prevent over-browning, cover the edge of the pie with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven on the baking tray for 25 minutes. Remove the foil.
- Bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden. Cool on a wire rack.

BOYSENBERRY PIE
In the 1930s, Rudolph Boysen was looking for a place to grow a new berry variety when he met the Knotts, who were struggling to make ends meet on their California farm. They teamed up, and soon the Knott family was growing boysenberries, which taste like a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry. The Knotts' kitchen became the Chicken Dinner Restaurant, and the rest of the property transformed into the theme park we know today. The park honors its history with treats like boysenberry sherbet, cotton candy and this double-crust pie, still made from the Knotts' original recipe.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Combine the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor; pulse to combine. Add the shortening and pulse a few times until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Add the butter and pulse a few times until pea-size pieces form. Pulse in the vinegar, then pulse in the ice water until the dough starts to come together but is still clumpy (you do not want it to form a ball). Divide the dough in half and form into 2 disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each disk of dough into a very thin 12-inch round (you can also roll the dough between 2 sheets of lightly floured parchment paper). If the dough is too soft, return to the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. Press 1 round of dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.
- Make the filling: Combine the boysenberries and liquid, the granulated sugar, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl. Stir until well combined.
- Pour the berry filling into the prepared pie crust. Place the second round of dough over the pie and trim the excess to match the bottom layer. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp as desired. Cut a few slits in the top crust. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before baking.
- Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F. Brush the pie with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Put the pie on the hot baking sheet and reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until the crust is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 60 to 75 minutes. Transfer the pie to a rack and let cool at least 4 hours before slicing.
MIXED BERRY PIE
Here's a delightful way to enjoy summertime fruits. If you're short on one of the berries, just make up the amount with one of the other fruits in the pie. -Elaine Moody, Clever, Missouri

FRESH DOUBLE BERRY PIE
I came up with this as a way to 'get rid of' a bunch of strawberries that I had purchaced for another purpose. I had some blueberries around, but not enough to do anything meaningful with -- so, I decided to use my Fresh Blueberry Pie recipe method with a twist. Everyone was raving about it. Most like it better than the plain blueberry version.

Tips:
- Use a variety of berries for a more flavorful pie.
- Fresh berries give the best results, but if you only have access to frozen berries, it's best to thaw them and drain them before using.
- Use a food processor to pulse the berries and sugar together until the sugar dissolves. This will help to prevent the pie from being too runny.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the berries and sugar together with a fork or potato masher.
- Be sure to let the pie filling cool completely before pouring it into the pie crust. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Use a store-bought pie crust or make your own using your favorite recipe.
- Bake the pie at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream, ice cream, or your favorite fruit sauce.
