Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 5 to 6 tablespoons cold water
  • FILLING:
  • 1 cup each fresh blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and sliced strawberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Additional sugar
  • TOPPING:
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in butter and shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate.
  • Place the berries in a large bowl. Combine the sugar, cornstarch, lemon peel, vanilla, ginger and allspice; add to berries and toss gently to coat. Pour into crust. Fold edges of pastry over filling. Brush folded pastry with milk; sprinkle with sugar.
  • For topping, combine the sugar and flour in a small bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over filling.
  • Bake at 400° for 50-55 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 6-8 servings.
