For TWD this week Amy of South in Your Mouth selected Double Crusted Blueberry Pie on pages 361-363. I had fully planned to make a blueberry pie and have it for the 4th of July, you know for the whole red white and blue thing. But alas, when I went to Sam’s to get cookout supplies, they had no blueberries 😦
But they did have blackberries, which are equally yummy!
The crust came together beautifully. God bless a food processor… and the filling is a no-fuss, no-cooking breeze!
The only snag I ran into is the liquid. Blackberries, as it turns out, are QUITE a bit juicier than a blueberry. This resulted in a very, shall we say, moist pie. So moist, that it spilled out of the slits and onto my pants in route to 4th festivities…
Not to be thwarted by a pie, upon arrival, I did what any sane (haha) person would do and simply tipped my pie sideways and drained the excess liquid into the grass >.>
The pie was still a bit damp, but still quite tasty. My pop even said it was just like his mother’s which is high praise indeed.
So, blueberry or blackberry, this pie’s a keeper (just mind your liquid if you go black… I’m guessing more flour… or maybe go with cornstarch)
Looks a bit more like cobbler than pie...
