Instructions

Drain the berries well and place them in a medium saucepan with ⅓ cup of water.
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until some of the berries begin to break down, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water until blended.
Add the sugar and lemon juice to the berry mixture, then stir the cornstarch slurry to mix it well, ensuring no clumps remain.
Combine the cornstarch slurry with the berry mixture, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 1-3 minutes. Once done, remove from heat and let cool completely before transferring it to a bowl or jar.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Notes

You can use any combination of mixed berries for a variety of flavors.
Make sure to cool the berry mixture completely before using it in the pies for optimal texture.
The crust can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
