  2. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, shortening, salt, vinegar, and cold water to create your pie crust dough.
  3. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into balls, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Roll out one dough ball into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine rhubarb and mixed berries with sugar, additional flour, tapioca granules, and lemon juice. Stir well.
  6. Pour the filling into the pie crust and roll out the second dough ball, placing it over the filling. Seal the edges and cut slits in the top crust.
  7. Bake for 50 minutes until the juices are bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
  8. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
