Quad Berry Pie

Growing up, no family gathering was complete without at least two or three pies on the dessert table, and there was always a mixed berry pie. Funny enough, pie was never my first choice. I was 100% team cake! If there was cake around, you could bet that’s what was ending up on my plate.

That all changed after I met my husband. He’s a huge pie fan and completely converted me. Over the years, he introduced me to just how amazing pie can be, and I discovered that fresh fruit pies are my absolute favorite. I love how the fresh berries keep their natural flavor and juicy texture, making every bite taste bright and refreshing.

This Quad Berry Pie (as my husband nicknamed it….PT joke!) has quickly become one of my favorite summer desserts! It has three simple layers: a buttery graham cracker crust, a sweet berry jam, and a generous pile of fresh mixed berries. It’s an easy make-ahead dessert since it needs a few hours to chill before serving, making it perfect for parties, barbecues, and holiday gatherings.

I especially love making this pie for the Fourth of July or Labor Day. Serve it with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, and you’ve got the ultimate summer dessert!

Tips & Tricks:

  • I always use a food processor to make the crust and puree the fruit for the jelly; for more specific instructions and trick, refer to Graham cracker crust post.
  • Make sure to firm up the butter in the crust prior to baking, this will help limit the crust from shrinking.
  • Prepare all the berries at once and then portion out for the jelly and then berry topping.

Equipment:

  • Measuring bowl, cups, spoons
  • Food processor
  • Pie tin
  • Small saucepan
  • Mini blender
  • Spatulas
  • Large fine mesh strainer
