Bumbleberry or Mixed Berry Pie

Bumbleberry or Mixed Berry Pie is a real firecracker of a pie! Made with three different kinds of berries: raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. Not only is this pie loaded with berries, it also has rhubarb. The perfect balance of sweet and tart. Talk about delicious!! Serve slices of warm pie with big scoops of vanilla ice cream.

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.
