WILD BLACKBERRY OR DEWBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Prepare pastry.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the blackberries and sugar & cinnamon; toss to coat. Next add the cornstarch & lightly mix. Place filling into pastry lined pie pan. Sprinkle lemon juice over filling & dot with butter.

MYSTERY INGREDIENT WILD BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press 1 pie crust pastry into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
• Stir blueberries, sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Add almond extract; stir to coat. Pour blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust. Dot the blueberry mixture with butter pieces. Top with second pie crust, crimping the two crusts together. Brush top crust with milk. Make a few incisions with a knife into the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Wrap the edges of the pie with aluminum foil to avoid burning.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and continue baking until blueberry filling is bubbling and crust is browned, 20 to 25 more minutes. Cool before serving.

WILD BLACKBERRY PIE

Steps:

• 1. In mixing bowl, sift together 2 1/2 cups flour, 3 1/2 tablespoons sugar and 1/3 teaspoon salt.
• 2. Add shortening and cut into flour with a pastry blender or 2 knives until it resembles coarse meal.
• 3. Using a fork, stir the ice water in until it just starts to come together.
• 4. Turn out onto lightly floured work surface and knead 3 to 5 times (don't over-knead.)
• 5. Form into ball and cut in half.
• 6. Shape each half into a disk about 3/4"-1" thick.
• 7. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. (May be done a day ahead.)
• 8. Place oven rack in middle position, preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and remove dough from refrigerator (allow to sit at room temperature 10-15 minutes before rolling out.)
• 9. Put blackberries in mixing bowl and sprinkle with 3 tablespoons flour, 2/3 cup sugar, lemon juice and zest (if using) and mix very well (a few smashed blackberries is a good thing!) Set aside.
• 10. Place 1 disk of dough on lightly floured surface and, using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough into a 12 inch circle.
• 11. Using a bench scraper or long, straight edge chef's knife, go around and under the edge of the dough, releasing it from the surface.
• 12. Place rolling pin on dough, slightly off-center, and using bench scraper, lift dough up and roll over rolling pin, until all dough is released.
• 13. Unroll over metal, glass or ceramic pie plate, then center and lightly press into plate.
• 14. Roll out 2nd crust.
• 15. Pour berries into plated crust and dot with small pieces of the butter.
• 16. Cover with 2nd crust and trim any excessive crust (any that is more than 3/4 inch from edge of pan.)
• 17. Fold edge under, crimp and flute.
• 18. Cut several slits in top and bake at 375 degrees for approximately 1 hour and 15-20 minutes, checking browning of edge at about 50 minutes. (If becoming too brown, cover edge of pie with foil, see note.)
• 19. When ready, filling should be bubbling, but not overflowing. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 4 hours. (For faster cooling, may be placed in refrigerator after an hour or so.)
• 20. NOTE: To prevent over-browning of edge of piecrust, try this easy trick: Place an empty pie pan, upside down, on flat surface. Tear a square of foil from roll and fold in half. Place over half of the pan and smooth the foil down over the edge of the bottom of pan to create a half moon imprint on foil. Remove foil and use kitchen shears to cut out the "moon." Unfold and place over pie.
