My, My This American Pie

Think the only "traditional" American pie is apple? Thing again... because this Fourth of July dessert recipe isn't apple. But it is red, white, and blue!

This wonderful July 4th dessert is a fresh and flavorful no-bake berry pie recipe that ties into the red-white-blue color theme for the holiday. As a bonus? In terms of fourth of July dessert recipes, you can't get much simpler than this one. It's unbelievably good... and perfectly fresh for summer!

Makes 1 pie.

Ingredients:
2 lb. strawberries, cleaned & sliced, divided
1 pt. blackberries or blueberries
1 C. granulated sugar
1 deep dish pie crust, baked
Sweetened whipped cream, as needed

Instructions: 1. Take 1/2 of the strawberries and put them in the blender with the sugar. Blend until smooth.

2. Move these to a saucepan and simmer until you achieve a nice glaze consistency and the strawberry puree is soft. Let cool to warm or room temperature.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the strawberries with the blackberries, and fold in the glaze (after it cools).

4. Pour into your prepared, pre-baked pie crust. Refrigerate until cold.

5. Before serving, top the outer edge of the pie with the whipped cream so you can still see the red/blue interior (or if you wish pipe out lines of whipped cream so you get a flag-like appearance.)

Tip: To make this Fourth of July dessert recipe look even more festive for the 4th, save some of your fruit to arrange on top for a festive look!
