Blackberry Pie

[Johnny West]

Amelia and I just put an Apache blackberry pie in the oven. She did all the measuring and helped put it together. I used Mario Batali's recipe which is alost the same as Betty Crocker.

I like whatever pie flavour is in season. Peach is a fav and never make one - rhubarb is my the #1 and never made one this year.

This one is excellent but found out after the first bite it was regulars blackberries; seeds. lol I'll have to hunt for the other berries. We have so much fruit in the freezer and not all bags marked correctly. There are lots of blueberries, too.

We did a drive yesterday to check out berries. We should get enough for a pie today.
The Apache berry place was sold and berries are gone.

I drove, she picked berries. I have enough for a pie and she is making jelly from the rest.

My worst job of crimping a pie…it’s not fair worthy.

It tastes good. The cinnamon and nutmeg helped, but the berries were flavorful.

I cut the pie and it was to warm and not set up. Mine looked a bit like cobbler.
I had a bedtime slice a few hours later and it had set up niclely.

Magnificent!!!

I'd like to make one and have just one slice.

You can’t eat just one.

No kidding… this will be my last pie till Thanksgiving.

Thankfully, I have almost no cravings for sweets. I rarely eat them.

Speaking of sweet. Nancy made blackberry jelly with the rest of the berries.

The blackberry pie is out of the oven as is the apple pie, and mincemeat pie just went in.

Peter is a vegetarian as I’ve noted before. We never looked at the ingredients of Pillsbury
pie crust before and discovered it contains lard. He’s been eating my pies for years with
pig fat. Nancy found pie crust at Fred’s without lard, which this blackberry and apple pie
are but they aren’t the quality Pillsbury crusts are. The mincemeat pie is Pillsbury as I’ll be
the only one eating it.

I'd like to see a photo of a slice of your mincemeat pie. I've never had it.

The pie came out nice. She used a new recipe and added cherry juice.
