This week I made a mixed berry pie, homemade from crust to filling.
My husband and I went to a local farm to pick the raspberries and blackberries that I used for this creation.
I decorated it using a small fondant cutter to make it have that pot-a-dot look. I saw this decoration online, and thought it would be an interesting design option for a pie. It had the ability to create air flow for the mixture to cook. while making the pie look more sophisticated then how pies are traditionally seen.
The mixture did bubble over a little, because I wanted a soft brown color on the crust. Over all it look rustic and tasted great.
I made this pie for a dinner my husband and I had with our new friends, the Wastons. They said it was the best pie they have had, and I have to agree, even if is was my own pie. Freshly picked berries are the way to go. Needless to say, this Pok-A-Dot pie was gone within 24 hours of it being cut into.
If you have any advice for me, or would like to comment please feel free to.
Stay Sweet,
Kirsten
