Blackberry Pie

Blackberry Pie

Yields: 8 servings
"This is a simple pie to make with amazing results. There is nothing quite like a blackberry pie warm from the oven. Except perhaps a slice of blackberry pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting deliciously."

INGREDIENTS:
4 cups fresh blackberries
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch

double crust pie
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup white sugar
DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine 3 1/2 cups berries with the sugar and flour. Spoon the mixture into an unbaked pie shell. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup berries on top of the sweetened berries, and cover with the top crust. Seal and crimp the edges. Brush the top crust with milk, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar.
2. Bake at 425 degree F (220 degrees C) for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature of the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
