Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: Dough for one 9-inch; 1/4 cup sugar; 1/3 cup all-purpose flour; 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves; 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 4 cups fresh blueberries, picked over; 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries, picked over; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice; 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Servings: persons

1
Preheat the oven to 450u00b0 F.
2
Gather the dough into two balls, one slightly larger than the other. Refrigerate the smaller one. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the larger one into a 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Place a nine-inch pie plate upside down on top of it. Using a small knife, cut around the plate, leaving a one-inch border of dough around the plate. Remove the plate. Transfer the crust to the pie plate and press firmly into the plate.
3
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cloves and nutmeg. Gently stir in the berries and vanilla until well-coated, then pour into the bottom crust. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and dot with the butter.
4
Remove the dough for the top crust from the refrigerator and roll out to an 11-inch circle. Lay the top crust over the filling. Seal the top and bottom crusts, then crimp the edges. Cut steam vents in the top with a knife. Cover the edge of the pie with two to three-inch wide strips of aluminum foil. Place in the oven and bake until the top turns golden, 35 to 45 minutes. (Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.)
5
Let cool to room temperature on a wire rack before serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
