Star Banner Berry Pie

This pie is show stopper. And not that hard to make. Ingredients:
1 large bag frozen mixed berries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries
1 1/2 c sugar
4 tbsp. cornstarch
2/3 c water
juice of 1/2 lemon
zest of two small lemons
two tablespoons merlot wine (magic)
Make your pie crust or pie store bought and cut out stars, sprinkle with sugar and set aside,  refrigerate
In a large pot put fruit, sugar, water lemon juice, cornstarch and zest, stir in merlot and heat until bubbly and thick. set aside to cool
Get your crust ready. Put about a tablespoon of flour in the bottom of the pie dish to prevent the dough from sticking to the pan and roll out your dough and put it in the pan and ladle in your filling. Get out stars and lay along the sides in any pattern you like, sprinkle with additional sugar and bake about 50 minutes. The first 15 at 425. then reduce oven temp to 375 for the remainder of the time. Put a cookie sheet under the bottom rack to catch any over spill. Your pie will be fabulous!
