Fresh Blackberry Pie Recipes

BLACKBERRY PIE I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine 3 1/2 cups berries with the sugar and flour. Spoon the mixture into an unbaked pie shell. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup berries on top of the sweetened berries, and cover with the top crust. Seal and crimp the edges, and cut vents in the top crust for steam to escape.
• Brush the top crust with milk, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature of the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Cool on wire rack.

FRESH BLACKBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Place bottom crust in your pie place. (Tip: I spray my pie plate with cooking spray before I add the crust. I think this makes the pie come out of the pan easier). Prick bottom crust with fork. Mix all ingredients except butter, milk and brown sugar in a large bowl with a spoon. Pour into pie shell. Cut butter in pieces on top of filling.
• Place second pie shell on top and cut slits for steam to escape. Very lightly brush just a tiny bit of milk on top of the shell and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees and cook 20-25 more minutes until pie is brown on top. Let cool before cutting.
