When Life Give You Berries, Make Berry Pie

This being summer, the 99 Cent Only Store has had an awesome selection of Strawberries, Blackberries, and Blueberries.

Since I had an extra frozen pie crust from when I made my South Western Quiche, I decided to make a berry pie.

Pies are really simple, especially when you use a frozen crust. It may not be considered Kosher to use this convenience food, but sometimes I prefer to take the easy way out.

I used a streusel topping which is basically sugar, brown sugar, flour, a little salt and butter mixed together until it is sort of crumbly.

As a binder, I cheated further and used a can of strawberries from the dollar store. The heavy syrup from this mushy stuff usually sets up well for the pie filling if you mix some corn starch in.

So thats it. Fresh berries mixed with the canned strawberries with some corn starch (a tablespoon is plenty). Streusel topping on top, and in the oven. You know the drill - 350 degrees, 40 minutes or so.

Berry pie for the Summer. Yum!
