"This pie is not as sweet as some. I don't like fruit pies sickeningly sweet (but just a tad on the tart side), but if you like yours sweeter, just increase the sugar. You might also want to consider your berries before adding the sugar- taste one first and see. Early season ones are often not as sweet and may need a bit more sugar. Be sure to watch the crust on your pie and cover it with foil or a guard if it starts to brown excessively."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Step 2

Place half the rolled pastry crust into the bottom of a 9-inch glass pie plate.

Step 3

Rinse berries and allow to drain (make sure they are dry when you use them- you can blot them with paper toweling if needed).

Step 4

Mix berries with the cornstarch and 1/2 cup sugar until all the sugar and cornstarch is taken up.

Step 5

Place coated berries on the bottom crust in the pie plate.

Step 6

Top berries with rolled pastry crust.

Step 7

Entwine the upper and lower edges of crust and crimp to form a seal.

Step 8

Beat egg white until frothy in a small dish.

Step 9

Using a brush, coat top crust lightly with egg white.

Step 10

Sprinkle crust with 2 tbsp sugar.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, cut several vents in the top crust.

Step 12

Place pie plate on a baking or cookie sheet and bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes.

Step 13

Watch the crust on the pie that it doesn't brown too much--cover with foil or a crust guard if necessary.

Step 14

Cool pie thoroughly on a wire rack before serving.

I used fresh berries and homemade pie crust. We loved that it wasn't overly sweet. We had it with some ice cream. My family gives it a high five!
