Should I use frozen or fresh berries for pie?
You can use either! Fresh berries are perfect when they’re in season, but frozen berries work just as well — and they’re super convenient. Just be sure to use them straight from the freezer (don’t thaw!), and add a little extra thickener to account for the extra juice they release as they bake.
Why do you put lemon juice in a berry pie?
Lemon juice adds a bright pop of flavor that balances the sweetness of the berries and enhances their natural tartness. It also helps the pectin in the fruit set up properly, giving you a thicker, more structured filling. Just a splash goes a long way toward making your pie taste fresh and vibrant!
How do I make my berry pie not runny?
To avoid a runny filling, be sure to use enough thickener (like cornstarch or tapioca), simmer the filling to cook off excess juices, and let the pie cool completely before slicing. Cooling is key—it allows the filling to set properly.
Do you prebake pie crust for berry pie?
Nope, you usually don’t need to prebake the crust for berry pies. Just make sure to bake it long enough (usually 40–45 minutes at 375–400°F) so the bottom crust cooks through. A glass pie dish helps you see when it’s nicely golden.
What is the best thickener for berry pies?
Cornstarch is a go-to for a glossy, firm filling. Tapioca starch or instant tapioca also work great and handle juicy fruits well. Flour can be used too, but it results in a slightly cloudier filling.
