MOUNTAIN BERRY PIE
I always have a supply of frozen berries and love to make this pie. Thaw just enough to separate- could use fresh if available. Feel free to use more or less of a certain berry, as long as the total amount is around 4 cups.

- Fresh Berries are Best: Use fresh berries whenever possible for the best flavor and texture.
- Mix Berries: Feel free to mix and match different types of berries in your pie. Some popular combinations include blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries.
- Sweeten to Taste: The amount of sugar you add to your pie filling will depend on the sweetness of your berries. Taste the filling before baking and adjust the sugar as needed.
- Use a Thickener: A thickener such as cornstarch or flour will help to thicken the pie filling and prevent it from being runny.
- Preheat the Oven: Always preheat your oven before baking the pie. This will help to ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
- Let the Pie Cool: Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set and the crust to crisp up.
