The tartness of the berries is balanced perfectly with sweet apples and flaky crust, while adding elderberry syrup lends the pie its distinct flavor – perfect for holidays and family celebrations! Additionally, this dish works equally well by itself or combined with other fruits and berries to make an irresistibly flavorful combination!
To prepare the berries for this recipe, they are first soaked in hot water for 30 minutes until soft and plump, before being rinsed and drained.
Filling for this pie begins with a basic pastry dough, then the berries are combined with sugar and cornstarch to thicken it further. Sometimes seeds inside berries may be removed to minimize harshness on the palate, however when heated up these become softened and add great textural elements to this pie!
Once the dough is ready, it should be rolled out on a floured surface and placed into a pie pan. Next comes adding your berry mixture and covering it with either lattice tops or solid tops from half of your dough – before finally baking until both crust and filling have turned golden-brown in color.
Strawberry-Elderberry Pie
This easy, sweet fruit pie is an ideal summer dessert or special event treat, featuring Elderberries for their unique earthy sweetness that stands apart from blueberry or raspberry varieties. Additionally, this recipe uses minimal ingredients.
Before beginning to make the pie, begin by washing and trimming the elderberries. Remove any stems that remain, as well as any green berries which could potentially be toxic. Next, transfer them into a pot for cooking so as to reduce their juice and thicken their consistency.
Once your berries are cool and cooked, mix them with sugar. Combine cornstarch and cold water before stirring into the berry mixture until thickening occurs and you have your finished product!
Fill the pie crust with the berry mixture. If desired, top it off with a light meringue made by whipping whipping cream with vanilla and powdered sugar until stiff peaks begin to form; alternatively use a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip instead!

Elderberries are naturally sweet and pair perfectly with many ingredients. You may recognize them from desserts like cakes and cookies, as well as in savory dishes – for instance adding Elderberry syrup to sauces and marinades is perfect for pork or gamey meat dishes!
While this recipe calls for fresh elderberries, you can easily substitute dried elderberries. Simply combine the berries with 1 cup of water, sugar and lemon juice and stir until sugar has completely dissolving before simmering the berries until soft. Combine a small amount of cornstarch with cold water and gradually pour into boiling mixture; simmer until it thickens then remove from heat.
To create this pie, first roll out one ball of dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Add another ball to cover this first one and trim and crimp as desired before filling with an elderberry mixture and baking. When finished baking, let it cool before refrigerating in an airtight container for at least 24 hours prior to refrigerating for long term storage. This delicious treat makes an ideal dessert, snack, or breakfast addition and should keep for several months when stored properly.

Pour the berry mixture into a prepared pie crust and spread it out evenly. If desired, create an eye-catching lattice or solid top by creating latticework or solid layers. Brush the surface of your pie with milk before topping with sugar as desired – bake at moderately hot temperature (375 degF) for 45-50 minutes for best results.

Cherry elderberry pie is one of the most unexpected yet delectable pies you can create. Combining cherries, fresh or dried elderberries, spices like cinnamon or nutmeg and other seasonings gives it its distinct yet comforting flavors; making this dessert ideal for fall evenings or holiday gatherings!

To complete your pie, the crust must be prepared. Place butter in a small bowl and put in the freezer while you begin your dough preparations. Combine flour, salt and butter in a food processor until pea-sized pieces of butter appear; add 1/4 cup of cold water gradually while processing further to form dough; divide into two balls using plastic wrap, refrigerate until ready for use.
