Instructions
-
Prepare the Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine sugar, quick-cooking tapioca, cornstarch, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients well to ensure they’re evenly distributed.
-
-
Cook the Filling: Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and add the syrup reserved from the strawberries and cherries. Over medium heat, cook the mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens (about 5 to 10 minutes). This process ensures the filling will have the perfect consistency for your pie.
-
Add the Fruit: Once the filling has thickened, stir in the cherries, strawberries, and lemon juice. Make sure the fruit is evenly coated with the syrupy mixture.
-
Assemble the Pie: Pour the fruit and filling mixture into a pre-made or homemade pie crust, spreading it evenly to fill the shell.
-
Bake the Pie: Place the pie in a preheated oven set to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Bake for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling with delicious fruity goodness.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool before serving. This helps the filling set properly. Enjoy your homemade Cherry Berry Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence!
This pie is a wonderful way to enjoy the natural sweetness of fruit while keeping things simple. The quick cooking tapioca and cornstarch ensure that the filling is thick and luscious without being overly heavy. Whether youโre preparing it for a holiday or a weeknight treat, this Cherry Berry Pie is sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection.
