Blackberry Pie
Blackberries can be found across the country and ripen at the same time peaches do. Be sure to wear a long-sleeve shirt when picking blackberries since vines with thorns are prickly. Look for berries that are plump and almost black. Only pick the berries that come off the stem easily. If you have to tug it off, it isn’t ripe and won’t be sweet enough.I like the flavor of the fruit to shine through, so I use less than a cup of sugar in this pie, but after the filling is made, taste it and add a bit more if you like it sweeter. This pie is beautiful when finished with a woven lattice top.
