Fresh Blackberry Pie Recipe
I love going to the local fruit farms during the spring-summer months. The local Strawberry farm always sales Blackberries at the end of the Strawberry season. The blackberries are always so big, plump, and juicy.
I have made blackberry cobbler, but my family really loves pies! So I wanted to make a sweet pie out of the blackberries that I recently purchased. This recipe is so sweet, a little tart, and so good that thankfully it makes two pies because they were gone in one hour!
INGREDIENTS
- 2- 9" pie shells (NOT DEEP) (Defrost)
- Refrigerated rolled out pie shell. (Will find in Dairy section)
- 6-cups of fresh blackberries
- 2-3 cups of sugar
- 1/2 stick of melted butter
- 1/4-1/2 cup of corn starch (use until thick not watery)
- 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zist
- 3 tablespoons of melted butter
INSTRUCTIONS
- Pre-heat oven to 350
- Place both (Not FROZEN) pie shells on a baking sheet.
- Mix fresh blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, butter, all together gently not to mash berries.
- Divide mixture between each pie shell and pour into pie shells.
- Roll out the rolled pie dough, and cut into strip and place criss-cross, on top of each pies.
- Then take the 3 tablespoons of melted butter and brush onto the criss-cross dough that is on top of each pie shell. Then sprinkle a little sugar to give it a sparkle effect.
- Cover the edges of pie with Aluminum foil. Or you may have a pie shield. This will help prevent the edges from burning.
- Cook for 1-hour. Keep checking it, your oven may cook quicker, but it usually takes 45 minutes to one hour.
