Fresh Mixed Berry Slab Pie

Posted on June 15, 2018

Berry season is here in Michigan! Strawberries are ripe in the southern Lower Peninsula right now and making their way north. Blueberries and raspberries are right behind them in July. This versatile Fresh Mixed Berry Slab Pie takes advantage of all of the different types of berries grown in Michigan. You can you use any combination of berries you want. You can even use just one type of berry if you prefer. Since it’s a slab pie, it’s perfect for a crowd, like your Fourth of July cookout. It’s also really easy to make.

Graham Cracker Crust

Ingredients

3 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs

½ cup of sugar

1 cup of butter, melted

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the sugar, graham cracker crumbs and butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Then set the crust aside to cool.

6 cups of fresh berries of your choice, plus 8 oz of strawberries, set aside

1 cup of sugar

Pour one cup of puree in a sauce pan.  Add 1 cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and ¾ cup of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Stir for three minutes or until thick. Chill glaze in freezer to cool it quickly. When glaze is cool, stir into the fresh fruit.
