1. Can I use frozen mulberries for this pie?

Yes, you can use frozen mulberries in place of fresh ones. Just be sure to thaw them before adding them to the pie filling to avoid excess moisture. Frozen mulberries work perfectly in this recipe, allowing you to enjoy mulberry pie year-round.

2. Can I make mulberry pie ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. The pie can also be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, simply reheat it in the oven or enjoy it chilled.

3. How do I prevent the pie crust from becoming soggy?

To avoid a soggy crust, you can pre-bake the pie crust for about 5-7 minutes before adding the filling. This will help create a barrier between the crust and the juicy filling. Also, using cornstarch as a thickener in the filling will help absorb excess moisture.

Instructions

Prepare the crust by rolling out the dough on a floured surface and lining a pie dish.
In a bowl, combine the mulberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Mix gently to coat the mulberries.
Pour the mulberry filling into the prepared pie crust, dotting with butter.
Roll out the second portion of dough and place it over the pie. Crimp the edges and cut a few slits in the top for ventilation.
Brush the top crust with egg wash for a golden finish.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Let the pie cool for at least one hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure the crust is not overfilled to prevent spilling.
Cover the edges with foil if they brown too quickly during baking.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
