Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water until a dough forms. Divide into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, toss mixed berries with granulated sugar, Clearjel starch, salt, orange juice, and lemon juice until evenly coated. Allow to sit to meld flavors.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one disc of dough and fit into a pie dish. Pour berry filling into the crust, mound it in the center. Roll out second disc and cut into strips for a lattice pattern on top. Seal edges.
- Whisk egg and water for egg wash. Brush over the lattice top and crust edges. Sprinkle sugar over lattice. Cut slits in the crust for steam to escape.
- Place pie on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
- Cool pie on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes
Ensure dough is well-chilled before rolling. For frozen berries, thaw and strain to avoid sogginess. Consider aesthetic edge shapes for a spooky flair.
