Great pie that lets the blackberries shine! The simple ingredients in the filling make it thick enough without giving it that “gummy” consistency of canned filling. The tartness is perfectly balanced with the sweetness and crispness of the crust. If you don’t like tart, make sure your blackberries are ripe, reduce the lemon or add a little sugar. The crust can get burned on edges, so I would cover for at least the last 30 minutes. It took me a couple times to roll the crusts due to breakage, but I feel it was due to my inexperience and the dough rolled out just fine.
Read MoreSorry, but this was the worst pie I have ever made. Not enough sugar or flour in the filling, and the crust was like eating grease. Never again!
Read MoreI would love to try this recipe. I am just a little suspicous because a lot of people said the filling was runny. I love how Food and Wine tells you how to make the crust while other food networks tell you to buy storebought.
Read MoreMine turned out perfect. When u rinse your blackberries pat dry to get rid of ezcess water and do not cover your pie when it comes out. Only cover with the mesh screens. Otherwise yes they get watery. This was super yummy.
Read MoreThis beyond a terrible recipe. I put the dough into the fridge for an hour and let it sit for 10 minutes like you said. Both pieces of my dough are ripping. I have never had a problem with it not sitting in the fridge. It should not have been put in the fridge to begin with. Please do not put recipes online if they do not work. Waste of my time and money....
Read MoreCame out very runny - needs cornstarch in the berries in addition to flour.
Read MoreCame out terrible. I let the pie cool down completely before cutting, because I heard cutting into a hot pie will cause the filling to run. But even after cooling it off, the pie filling was very runny and even worse. I'm going to try it again, but next time I plan to leave out the lemon juice completely and perhaps add a tad more flour to the filling. Many blackberries have a natural tartness to them anyway so adding lemon juice just made it way too sour. The crust came out great though.
Read MoreI mixed blackberries and raspberries too. Watery now, but will let it set overnight and I'm sure it will be fine. Did lattice crust for the top. My lattice brings new meaning to rustic. Looks so good. A piece of crust fell off. Delicious.
Read MoreI made this beautiful pie over the summer when friends were visiting and received rave reviews. I used a different recipe for the crust --one I always used that's similar --but the filling was just perfect. Not too runny not too dry, just perfect. Thank you for sharing your mothers great recipe!
Read MoreI read that tapioca will be a better thickener than flour, so I will use that and let you know how it works.
Read MoreHere is my turnout of this recipe. The crust was the hardest part. I ended up using saran wrap on top and bottom of the dough, then used a rolling pin and that helped somewhat. I stll needed to patch up some parts, as you can tell by the picture. I didn't have a glass pie bakeware so I used ceramic and I only cooked it for 55 mins. Can't wait to take a bite! Gonna go ahead and give it a 4 star even before I taste it. :) I like that it only called for 1/2 C sugar.
Read MoreTrying this tonight but I will have to mix blackberries with raspberries! I heard this from a friend and they said it would taste better! :)
Read MoreI don't know what I did wrong but mine came out very watery. I have followed your recipe but it didn't turn out as I have expected.
Read MoreTrying this right now and currently putting the pie in the oven! I hope this turns out good! :)
