Patriotic Stars and Stripe Berry Pie
Make crust in the food processor and chill. Or use a premade crust.
Preheat oven to 425°.
Place the raspberries in one bowl and the blueberries in another, then add sugar, cornstarch, and almond extract to each bowl, and gently toss.
Roll out the bottom crust, fit it into the pie plate, and flute the edges.
Fold a piece of aluminum foil several times to make a 2-inch high divider. Place in the pie crust to divide into one larger and one smaller section.
Add the blueberries to the smaller section and the raspberries to the larger section. Try to make the fillings as level as possible.
Roll out the remaining ball of dough on a lightly floured surface into an 11-inch circle. Cut 5 wavy stripes, about ¾ inch wide from ⅔ of the circle, and stars from the remaining dough.
Arrange the stripes over the raspberries Arrange the stars over the blueberries.
Brush crust with beaten egg; sprinkle with sanding sugar.
Cover the edge of the crust with a 2-inch strip of aluminum foil (I didn’t do this but my crust got rather dark. I’d recommend including this step).
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove foil. Reduce oven to 375°. Continue baking for 30-40 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned and the filling is bubbling.
Cool pie 1 hour before serving

Jennifer Engel
Certified Market Manager
This season marks Jennifer’s 6th year leading the Skokie Farmers’ Market, where her passion for local food and community has helped her grow the market. She brings two decades of experience in marketing and community relations from her current role at Chicago’s North Shore Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Jennifer’s green thumb is next level—her home garden is basically a farmers market of its own. From corn to potatoes, she grows it all! Ask her about the luffas! (no they don't grow in the ocean!) Jennifer is focused on helping others and is active in many community groups. When she’s off the clock, you’ll likely find her on a trail with her partner Ira and their three rescue pups.

Steve Klebe
Assistant Manager
This is Steve's 5th year at the Skokie Farmers' Market. He is in charge of the Link /Match program, where you'll find him at the Market tent throughout the season. At home, he shares a big yard (complete with a native prairie and woodland garden) with his three rescue dogs.
A big fan of camping and Jimmy Buffett tunes, Steve is excited to be part of the Market this season. He’s looking forward to connecting with both customers and farmers—and picking up a few good gardening tips along the way!
