Three-Berry Pie with Vanilla Cream Gourmet
Yield: Makes 8 servings
Active Time: 40 minutes
1 cup granulated sugar, or fake sweetener
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups fresh blackberries (3/4 to 1 pound)
2 cups fresh raspberries (1/2 to 3/4 pound)
2 cups fresh blueberries (1/2 to 3/4 pound)
purchased Pillsbury pie crust
Special equipment: a 9-inch metal or glass pie plate (4-cup capacity)
Put a large baking sheet in middle of oven and preheat oven to 450°F.
Whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, tapioca, and salt, then toss with berries.
Roll out 1 piece of dough (keep remaining piece chilled) on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round and fit into pie plate. Trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Chill shell while rolling out dough for top crust.
Roll out remaining piece of dough on lightly floured surface with floured rolling pin into an 11-inch round.
Spoon filling into shell, then cover pie with pastry round and trim with kitchen shears, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Press edges together, then crimp edge decoratively. Brush top of pie with egg and sprinkle all over with sanding sugar. Cut 3 steam vents in top crust with a small sharp knife.
Bake pie on hot baking sheet in middle of oven 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 375°F and continue to bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 45 minutes more.
Cool pie on a rack at least 3 hours before serving to allow juices to thicken slightly (filling will still be juicy).

JULIE'S TOP TEN
Top ten reasons why Dad is secretly excited about moving in with Annie and Robby:
*No more "fake waves" to people on Via Loma Vista
*To see if Anne really does "bathe Virginia."
*Gets to "lay down" with Carson until he falls asleep.
*Someone to finally share his Gin bill with.
*Hopes the IRS wont find their new address.
*Can't wait to scare the kids with his BIPAP.
*Now he has someone else that can relate to "bath time!"
*Now he can get up with Carson to watch Fox and Friends.
*Keep a closer eye on that Robby guy.
*Gets to pee ANYWHERE!
