Author Notes

A few years ago I attended a Portland pie event (Pie Palooza) with a few F52ers, this is the pie I shared and called a "Pie-a-dise," it is a riff on my Food52 Himalayan Blackberry Pie.

Note: in case you might wonder, other 52ers attending this annual pie event were hardlikearmour, vvvanessa and her sister vrunka, who was a co-host of the event.

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • CRUST - prepare the all butter crust (below), your favorite recipe or a pre-rolled
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8-10 tablespoons ice water
  • FILLING INGREDIENTS
  • 2 cups raspberries
  • 2 cups blackberries
  • 3/4 cup blackberry honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons instant tapioca
  • Optional - up to 1/4 cup super fine sugar, to your taste, if needed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
  1. CRUST - prepare the all butter crust (below), your favorite recipe or a pre-rolled
  2. Put the butter, flour and salt in the food processor, pulse lightly until the mixture resembles wet looking particles (some recipes say pea sized). Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing a couple times after each tablespoon. Keep adding water until the dough just starts to gather into larger clumps. Split the dough in half and place each into a re-sealable plastic bag, pat each into a disk. Let the dough sit in the refrigerator 30 minutes.
  1. FILLING INGREDIENTS
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  3. Wash and the drain berries. Add the sugar, honey, lime juice and tapioca; taste test before adding any additional superfine sugar. Stir and let sit 15 minutes so that the little tapioca balls have time to soften.
  4. Place the bottom crust in a 10 inch pie plate. Add the berries with a slotted spoon, this will leave some juice, that’s ok, the pie will be juicy enough.
  5. Dot the berries with unsalted butter.
  6. Cover with the top pie crust. Crimp the edges. Brush with a milk/cream mixture. Poke air vents throughout.
  7. Cook for 50 to 60 minutes, until the crust is browned and the filling is bubbling.

How wonderful it must be to receive an invitation to a "pie-a-palooza!". And with such esteemed company! Thanks for sharing the fruits of your labor!
 
lapadia August 8, 2011
Yes, it was a wonderful time on a sunny Sunday afternoon, and thanks for your kind words!

You are the pie master! Your crust is all I make, well with flavor tweaks here and there but you got me over my Fear Of Pie Crust last year with your himalayan blackberry pie. Pie-A-Palooza sounds fun!
 
lapadia August 8, 2011
Wow, now that you mentioned it, I remember you talking about the crust last year, and your comment is a great way to start off the week, thanks, aargersi! My pie adventure was fun, I had never seen SO many pies all in one place...
 
boulangere August 7, 2011
LOL! love the name!
 
lapadia August 7, 2011
:) Thx, boulangere, I thought the name was a good fit being I took it to an event named Pie-a-palooza!
 
SKK August 7, 2011
This looks so good! I don't make a lot of pies and this one is very tempting!
 
lapadia August 7, 2011
Thanks, SKK, I hope you will try it sometime. And, if you aren't into crust making (and sometimes I am not) I find the frozen crust at Trader Joe's nice to work with and tasty too!
 
wssmom August 7, 2011

I can attest to the deliciousness of this pie. The tartness of the raspberries beautifully complements the sweetness of the blackberries!
 
lapadia August 7, 2011
