Bumble Berry Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 pastry for a double-crust 9-inch pie, refrigerated (enough for double crust)
    Filling
    1 cup fresh raspberry
    1 cup fresh blueberries, picked over for stems
    1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
    1 cup fresh rhubarb, stalks sliced crosswise 1/2-inch thick
    1 cup sugar
    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    1/3 cup all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
    Glaze
    1 tablespoon coarse sugar or 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Preparation
    Roll out bottom pie pastry; place into a 9 1/2 inch deep dish pie pan; scuplt/flute edge into a upstanding ridge.
    Place pie shell in freezer for about 15 minutes; also place remaining unrolled pastry in the freezer.
    Preheat oven to 400\u00b0.
    In a big bowl, combine the berries, rhubarb, sugar, and lemon juice; toss gently to mix.
    Add in flour; toss gently again.
    Turn the filling into the chilled pie shell, smoothing the top of the fruit with a spoon.
    Dot the top of the filling with the butter.
    Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the other half of the pastry directly over the fruit, as if it were a block of cheese.
    Using a fork, gently move the gratings here and there for an even covering.
    Sprinkle the coarse sugar over the top.
    Put the pie on the center oven rack; bake for 30 minutes.
    Decrease oven temp to 375\u00b0 and rotate pie 180\u00b0; also slide a foil-lined baking sheet onto the rack below to catch any spills.
    Continue baking 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the juices bubble thickly around the edge (**tent with foil if pie crust starts to become too brown).
    Transfer pie to a wire rack; let cool at least 2 hours before serving.
    *Don't stress about making the top of the pastry nice and even; if it is a little clumpy, that is fine; the pastry tends to settle in the heat of the oven, leaving a cobbler-like finish.
