Boysenberry Pie

Directions

Roll out 1 crust and place on 9 “ pie pan.  Chill until needed.

Using large spoon, mix all dry ingredients together, add brandy and then add berries.  Place in chilled pie crust.   Dot with unsalted butter.

Cover with 2^nd pie crust rolled big enough to cover filling.   Crimp edges together.  [The picture reveals Jim's way with a lattice!]

Brush top of pie with wash made of 1 egg white and ½ tsp water, whisked with fork.  Top with decorative sugar crystals.    Cut vents into top of pie.  Place in freezer and pre-heat oven to 420 degrees.

When oven reaches 420, remove from freezer and place in lower 1/3 of oven.  Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 370 degrees, protect edges with aluminum foil, and continue baking 40 to 45 minutes until filling is bubbling and pie crust has golden brown color.  You may have to place extra foil on rack beneath pie to catch any spills [do not put directly on bottom of oven]. 

Remove and let cool completely.
