Sweet and tart triple berry pie filling inside of a perfectly flakey crust. This razzleberry pie is a recipe you'll come back to over and over again for its simple ingredients, easy execution, and delicious results.
Why This Recipe Works
Razzleberry pie is a triple berry or mixed berry pie. It contains raspberry, blackberries, and blueberries. It is my favorite kind of pie, hands down.

How Do You Make Razzleberry Pie From Scratch?
The Filling
1. In a large dutch oven, add sugar and clear gel. Stir until well combined.

3. Add in frozen berries.
4. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes or until thickened.
The Pie Crust
How do you make pie crust from scratch? For the pie crust I am using the amazing recipe we have here on the blog. It is perfection. Over the years, I have tested making this crust in my stand mixer as a shortcut and it has always turned out great! Here is how I do it.
1. In the bowl of your stand mixer, add flour.
2. Add salt and sugar.
3. Toss in shortening.
4. Using your paddle attachment, blend until your flour resembles course peas.
5. Slowly pour in water.
6. When the dough begins to form a ball, you are done.
7. Divide your dough into 6 equal parts.
8. Roll each out into 9-10 inch rounds.
9. Transfer one dough round to your pie plate, poke the bottom of the crust with a fork.
10. Ladle pie filling into your crust.
11. Of course you can just top your pie with a flat piece of crust dough, cut a few slits in it, and you are good to go. But if you want to get fancy - try braiding your dough, or using pie dough cutters to create some fun shapes. Check out Des's lattice crust, her braided edge, and her leaf accent.
12. Trim the excess dough from your edges.
13. Brush with an egg wash.
14. Sprinkle with sugar.
15. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Line edges with foil and continue baking for 30-35 minutes.
16. Let cool completely before serving. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Pro Tip: One tip is to chill your pie before baking. Don't be afraid to use the freezer! If your pie goes into the oven chilled it will keep its form better than if it goes in at room temp.

I made this today for my Dad's birthday, berry pie is his favorite, and it was a huge hit! I did the lattice with a braid and it was great!
I was really worried about how "firm" the filling should be when you add it to the pie crusts, it seemed really soupy, but it started to firm up and eventually was fine, but it took much longer than the 5 minutes on the stove, I was nervous! :-)
I love your site, thank you so much!

Hello,
Does this use frozen bags of fruit? I do not see that specified anywhere.
Thank you!
Kadee says

Looks delicious...bought all the ingredients and plan to make this for my family's thanksgiving! I'm confused by step 9, though: "Pour in 1/3 of pie filling." does the rest of the filling get added later? do i just end up with enough filling for 3 pies? ...i am planning to make two pies so i bought double the berries, but is this enough for 2 pies or for 6?? Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks.
Kadee says
Hi Lauren,
The recipe makes three 9-inch pies. So you bought enough for 6 pies! :)
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Lauren says

Is there any reason why cornstarch wouldnt work for this pie? I dont make pie very often so i dont really want to buy a new product If i dont have to...
Kadee says
You can certainly use cornstarch, but it does not stand up to high and low temps like the clear gels do.
