Marionberry Filling Recipes

MARIONBERRY CRISP

Steps:

• If making less than 6 servings of the dessert I recommend making the full amount of the crisp. It can be stored in the refrigerator and used for other desserts.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter each of the ramekins. Line a half baking sheet with parchment paper

MARIONBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Prepare the pie crust and shape half of the dough into a pie plate. Slice the other half into strips and cover both with plastic wrap and place in the fridge.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Blind bake the bottom crust (see note).
• Add the fruit, sugar and pectin into a saucepan and gently, using a rubber spatula, fold the berries in. Start with only 1/2 cup sugar, but if your berries are extra tart you should add more sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn the heat to medium low and cook until the berries are releasing their juices and beginning to thicken. Only stir occasionally as you don't want to break up the fruit and turn it into jam.
• Add the hot fruit mixture directly into the pie crust. Place strips across the pie and then lift up one end of every other strip and lay a new strip across the other way. Now, repeat but with the other strips that were not originally lifted up. Continue until you're halfway across the pie then turn the pie around and repeat from the other side to make a lattice across the entire pie.
• Whisk together the egg and water and then brush the top of the pie and immediately sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake the pie for 25 minutes then drape with a piece of tin foil and continue to bake for another 20-30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and cool entirely on the counter. We prefer to let our pie rest over night as the filling will set up and not run. Refrigeration can make the filling sink and pull away from the crust.

MARIONBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the scones: In a mixer, blend dry ingredients, shortening and butter together thoroughly until mixture looks like bread crumbs. Add most of the milk and mix for about 30 seconds. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl, adding more milk to completely moisten dough. Be careful not to overmix. Flour hands and divide the dough in half and place on 2 pieces of floured parchment paper. Re-flour hands and shape dough into a large circle about 10 inches in diameter. Place about 3/4 cup Marionberries evenly on each circle, leaving a 2-inch edge. Re-flour the parchment papers. Re-flour hands and fold up edges to completely cover Marionberries. Flatten out scone with floured hands to 10 inches in diameter. Cut into 6 pie shaped pieces and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 20 minutes, rotating once halfway through the cooking time. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
• To make the icing: Combine all ingredients in medium bowl. Mix for about 30 seconds or until thick. Drizzle scones with lemon icing. Let icing harden before serving.

MARIONBERRY PIE

Whisk 2 teaspoons water into cornstarch in a small bowl, and stir into hot jam mixture. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Discard zest.

Roll out remaining disk of dough into a 12-inch round. Using a 3/4-inch round cookie cutter (from a cookie cutter set), cut out circles from dough, leaving about 1 inch between each hole and a 3-inch border of solid dough around perimeter. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and refrigerate, along with dough in pie plate, until firm, about 1 hour.
• Pour filling into crust. Place top crust over filling, and trim excess, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold under bottom crust. Press to seal, and crimp to form a scalloped edge. Beat together egg and remaining teaspoon water, and brush top of pie with egg wash. Bake pie 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees, and bake until golden brown and bubbling through holes, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours.
