"My grandkids like to pick fresh blackberries in the summer and take them home to their parents. This is the treat that we make before the rest of the berries all go home."

Just made this recipe exactly as stated and have to say it did come out right. I have many years of pie making so this was not the first. The sugar did not completely dissolve and it was like soup. don't know why, but I think it was too much sugar. Won't be using this recipe again

I love blackberry pie. This is a good recipe. The only substitution I made was to use cornstarch instead of flour. I used berries I picked this summer and froze. Made for Culinary Quest 2014.
