  Bumbleberry Pie

  This is a great recipe to use the rhubarb and fresh fruit that is turning ripe right now. These pies are not too sweet and the fresh fruit taste really shines!  Recipe makes 2 pies.

  Ingredients (Pie Filling): 4 cups apples - peeled, cored and chopped 2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries 2 cups fresh blueberries 2 cups fresh raspberries 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 cups white sugar 2/3 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons tapioca or 4 tablespoons cornstarch 1 egg yolk, beaten 2 tablespoons water Ingredients (Pie Crust): 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups shortening 3/4 cup cold water 1 egg 1 tablespoon vinegar

  Directions: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk together 3/4 cup water, egg, and vinegar. Stir into flour until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough into 4 balls. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours, or overnight. Roll out dough portions to fit a 9 inch pie pan. Place bottom crusts in 2 pie pans. Set aside top crusts. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a large bowl, combine apples, rhubarb, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and lemon juice. Mix together 2 cups sugar, 2/3 cup flour, and tapioca; gently toss with fruit mixture. Divide into 2 pastry lined pie pans. Cover with top crusts; trim and crimp edges. Brush tops with egg wash (1 egg yolk beaten with 2 tablespoons water). Cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to vent. Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until filling is bubbly in center and top is golden brown.
