Blackberry Pie

My absolute favorite pie is blackberry. My grandmother & father made the best blackberry pies, but of course I don't have the recipe. And even if I did, mine wouldn't be as good! I remember asking my dad for recipes. He would always say, oh just a little of this and a bit of that, until it tastes/looks right. Grandma & dad didn't use recipes... they cooked from skill. Something I just didn't inherit. But I try!

I was coerced into going blackberry picking the other day... even though the season is all but over. About an hour later I had several scratches, dark purple hands and about 1/2 flat of blackberries... it was hard picking.



I'm used to the blackberry picking of my youth where if you couldn't get a flat in 10 minutes it wasn't worth your time. But I was happy we ended up with enough for a pie.



And since I was making a pie anyway I decided to make more and use up some of the 48 pounds of peaches I have... I made a full size and three mini size blueberry peach pies.



I feel very domestic!
