Ingredients

  • 1 Orange not white pith
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 pastry shell Short Crust, * see note
  • pastry shell or flaky
  • 1 egg white beaten for glaze
  • 1 pound rhubarb Fresh, cut 1" diag pieces
  • 2 cups blackberries Fresh
  • 8 ounces blackberry jam Seedless, 1 jar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • confectioners' sugar

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Put orange zest in food processor with sugar, or chop finely by hand.
  • Mix zest with cornstarch and spread in pie shell. Arrange rhubarb on top.
  • Cover pie loosely with foil and bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until fruit is just tender. (It will continue cooking for a few minutes after it is removed from the oven.) Set aside to cool.
  • Place Blackberries decoratively on top in concentric circles. Heat raspberry preserves with water and lemon juice, and when almost cool, paint tops of blackberries with a pastry brush, covering all nooks and crannies, to achieve an even glaze.
  • Just before serving, dust lightly with sifted confectioners' sugar. If desired, serve with vanilla ice cream or a bowl of lightly whipped cream.
