Fresh Berry Pie (Blueberry, Blackberry, Raspberry, Strawberry, Loganberry or Boysenberry) *With thick juice bubbling through the crust.* Select ripe, juicy berries—blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, Loganberries or boysenberries, etc. Berries picked at the height of the season are more flavorful, require less sugar and make the most delicious pies. Wash berries, drain well. Then pick them over. Remove stems and hulls. Halve large strawberries. Use the smaller or larger amount of sugar according to your taste and the sweetness of the fruit. Very tart fruit may require even more sugar (up to 1½ cups for 1 qt.) Make Pastry for Two-crust Pie of desired size. Line pie pan. (See pp. 357-358.) *For 9" Pie* 1 to 1½ cups sugar ⅓ cup GOLD MEDAL Flour ¼ tsp. cinnamon 4 cups fresh berries 1½ tbsp. butter *Heat oven to 425° (hot).* Mix sugar, flour and cinnamon. Mix lightly through berries. Pour into pastry-lined pie pan. Dot with butter. Cover with top crust which has slits cut in it. Seal and flute. Cover edge with 1½" strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake 35 to 45 min., or until crust is nicely browned and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust.
