Celebrate the Holiday Season with a Delicious Berry Pie

Written by Cal Giant | November 16, 2021

From summer to winter, pies are the perfect year-round dessert. But something about a fresh from the oven pie feels uniquely festive and cozy during the holidays. California Giant Berry Farms berries are an outstanding addition for any holiday dessert lineup, but take center stage in our favorite collection of holiday pies. 

Blueberry Pie with Homemade Espresso Whipped Cream

Fresh whole blueberries provide a deep purple-blue color throughout this flavorful pie recipe. Lemon zest and juice compliment the rich raspberry liquor with their light flavors in the delectable pie filling. The espresso whipped cream adds an element of bitterness to balance the sweetness of the luscious pie filling.

Tip: If you make your crust homemade, add lemon zest to the dough for an extra dimension of flavor.

Easy Strawberry Pie

Sure to be the hit of any holiday gathering or dinner table, this Easy Strawberry Pie consists of just 5 simple ingredients. Similar to the Blueberry Espresso Pie, lemon juice plays a key role in balancing the strawberries’ sweetness with the bright and tart tang of lemon. 

Tip: Sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar before baking for a crunchier pie crust.

Blackberry-Apple Pie

Fresh, whole blackberries add an unexpected twist to traditional apple pie in our Blackberry Apple Pie recipe. During cooking, the apple slices meld with the blackberry juices, making for a forkful of flavor in every bite.

Tip: Use cookie cutters to easily embellish your pie with a festive design.
