Stars & Stripes Pie
This festive pie is made with Stonewall Kitchen's Wild Maine Blueberry Jam and Strawberry Jam. A fun and delicious recipe to serve any time of year!
Ingredients:
Pastry Dough for a 9” Double Pie Crust (your favorite recipe or store bought)
1 tablespoon milk
For the Blueberry Filling:
1 pint fresh blueberries
¼ cup Wild Maine Blueberry Jam
For the Strawberry Filling:
2 pounds fresh strawberries, de-stemmed and roughly chopped
½ cup Strawberry Jam
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°Fahrenheit. On a
flat, lightly floured work space, roll out ¾ of the pastry dough into a 12-14”
circle (or slightly larger than the pie plate you are using). Gently fold the
dough in half and place into the pie plate. Allow the edges to hang over the
sides and trim so that the overhang is the same length around the pie. Gently
fold the overhang under and crimp the edges. Roll out the remaining pastry
dough to be about 1/8” thick. Using a small and medium star shaped cookie
cutter, cut out 15-20 stars.
Re-roll the remaining dough if needed and cut out 5 strips that are 1” wide and
long enough to cross the pie. In a small bowl, gently toss the blueberries with
the sugar and cornstarch until the blueberries are coated, then mix in the Wild
Maine Blueberry Jam. In a large bowl, repeat with the strawberry filling
ingredients. Starting with the blueberries, carefully scoop them into the top
left section of the pie (If you were to look at it like a clock, it would be
from 9:00-12:00). While spooning them in, use a spatula to form a triangle so
the blueberries are just filling in that section. Once the blueberries have all
been placed, carefully spoon the strawberries into the remaining part of the
pie.
Gently lay the strips of pastry across the strawberry section of the pie to
create the flags stripes. Trim the edges as needed and tuck the ends under the
pie crust. Place the stars on top of the blueberries. In a small bowl, whisk
together the egg and milk. Using a pastry brush, gently brush the egg wash over
the stripes, stars and the edge of the pie crust.
Place the pie on a baking
sheet and bake at 400°Fahrenheit on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes.
Leaving the pie in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°Fahrenheit and
bake for an additional 40-50 minutes, or until the crust has browned and the
filling has been bubbling for at least 5 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool before cutting and serving.
