Pearberry Pie makes 6 servings.

The ingredients for Pearberry Pie are:

1/2 box of cake mix (I like to use Funfetti)
3-4 medium or large pears
1 nectarine
1 cup blueberries
12 oz. lemon-lime soda (I use the Walmart brand)

Here is how you make Pearberry Pie:

Preheat your oven to 375.Peel the pears and nectarine (or other fruits, if you substitute) and cut into small chunks, 1 inch or less. Put these in the bottom of a baking dish (I use a glass pie dish, but an 8x8 casserole works just as well). Add the berries. Your fruit should cover about 1" from the bottom of the dish.Add a small amount (a few tablespoons) of cake mix to the fruit and mix with the juices to wet it. Add a splash of soda, if necessary. Layer more cake mix on top and add more soda.Repeat this until the dish is fairly full, and you have a top "crust" layer where the cake mix is mostly dry, with little soda mixed in. You may have a small amount of mix or soda left over, depending on what kind of fruit and cake mix you use and how big your dish is.Bake at 375 deg. Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes. Check periodically, as some of the filling can bubble out and create a mess on the bottom of your stove!Makes approx. 6 servings.Note: I use regular lemon-lime soda, but a "healthier" version can be made with diet soda. I do not recommend substituting citrus fruits. Frozen fruit/berries, however, are ok.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user THENOTSOCOOLONE.
