Cup Flour  
Pinches salt  
/3 Cup Lard  
Tablespoon Ice water; up to 4  
Pint Raspberries  
Pint Blueberries  
Pint Blackberries  
Pint Strawberries  
−1/2 Cup Water  
−1/2 Cup Sugar  
/4 Cup Cornstarch  
Scoops vanilla bean ice cream  
7 1/2 Fat; 20 Other Carbohydrates  
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  
In a mixing bowl combine the flour and salt. Add the lard and work it in  
with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water, 1  
tablespoon at a time. Form the dough into 2 smooth balls. Wrap the dough in  
plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.  
In a saucepan combine the berries, water and sugar, over medium−high. Bring  
the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes. In  
a small bowl combine the cornstarch with the remaining 1/4 cup of water.  
Stir until the cornstarch dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Stir the  
cornstarch mixture into the berry mixture. Bring the mixture back to a boil  
and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.  
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place on a lightly floured  
surface. Roll out each dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter and  
1
/8−inch thick. Fold one of the dough into fourths and carefully remove the  
dough from the surface. Unfold the dough into a 9−inch by 2−inch deep dish  
pie pan. Pour the berry filling into the pastry shell. Place the remaining  
circle of dough over the filling. Lightly press the pastry into the berry  
mixture. Using a small knife trim off any excess and crimp the edges. Place  
on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for about 45  
minutes or until the crust is golden. Remove and cool for 20 minutes before  
slicing. Serve each slice with a scoop of ice cream.
