Bumbleberry or Mixed Berry Pie
Bumbleberry or Mixed Berry Pie

Bumbleberry
I really can’t tell you why this pie is called ‘bumbleberry’ pie. I came up with two theories of my own. The first theory is: there are three different types of berries plus rhubarb used in this pie. When the fruit is mixed together with the other ingredients they get all jumbled and bumbled together. The second theory, the name sounds fun! Actually the truth is, “bumbleberry” is usually given to pretty much anything that contains three or more berries. There is bumbleberry pie, jam, jellies and pie filling.
Boxed Crust
For this recipe we used a refrigerated ready-made pie crust. You can easily make a made from scratch pie crust. I usually make my own pie crust but I happen to have a packaged pie crust so to save time I opted that. I make a homemade crust using Crisco and the same recipe that has been written on the label for eons.

Bumbleberry Pie
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups sugar
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh rhubarb, sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 box refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425º
- In a large bowl combine sugar and flour. Add the raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, rhubarb and lemon juice; toss to coat.
- Place one pie crust in ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate. Press firmly against sides and bottom. Spoon filling into crust lined pie plate.Top with second crust. Wrap excessive top crust under bottom crust edge, pressing edges together with tines of fork to seal. Cut 4 slits in top crust. Brush top crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar. Cover edges of crust with a 2 or 3 inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning. Remove foil after 20 minutes of baking.
- Bake at 425º for 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
- Cool on wire rack

This pie sounds delicious! I love the idea of using store pie crust in this recipe; I'm not a big fan of making homemade crust, it seems hard. 🙂 Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday!
Hi Ericka~ I like using packaged pie crust for the simple fact, it always turns out and it is an easy option:) I have made many pie crusts in my day and there is no debate that they taste better, but I love the convenience of pre-made pie crust and always have them on hand:) Lynn
