Christmas time is all about baking! The next few posts from me are some delcious treats my husband and I prepared Christmas Eve for the next day's festivities. Enjoy with your closest family and friends!This first recipe shared is for a triple berry pie. I purchased a pre-made crust from Trader Joes and defrosted it for approx. 2 hours. If you are brave and know how to make a crust from scratch-go for it!!
Tip: if you are using frozen fruit (I did for raspberries and strawberries) than be sure to defrost and strain well the extra water content. The store did not have fresh strawberries or raspberries available, so I bought the frozen version and strained well. The checker at Trader Joes said that many prefer frozen to fresh as at the point of freezing the fruit it at it's best ripe stage.
