Ingredients
Instructions
- Lightly mix the mulberries with the lemon juice, sugar, and flour.
- Pour the mixture into an unbaked pie shell.
- Bake at 350°F until the crust is light brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling. If mulberries are hard to find, blackberries or blueberries can be used as substitutes. For a gluten-free version, swap out the flour for a gluten-free all-purpose blend. Remember to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your berries.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Lemonade Or Limeade for a refreshing drink option. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a light salad, such as Coleslaw, Sweet And Sour.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover mulberry pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help maintain the pie's crust texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen mulberries for this pie?
Yes, frozen mulberries can be used, but be sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid to avoid a soggy pie. You may also need to adjust the sugar based on the tartness of the frozen berries.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the crust is a light golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly. If you're unsure, you can insert a toothpick into the crust; it should come out clean without any wet batter sticking to it.
Is this pie suitable for vegans?
Yes, you can make this pie vegan by using a plant-based pie crust. Ensure that your sugar is also vegan-friendly, as some sugar is processed using bone char. Follow the recipe as is, and you will have a delicious vegan dessert.
