Blackberries here in the great NorthWest grow abundantly. They're every where you look,.. on the side of the freeway, someones backyard, and at the park and pathways. They're just like freckles dotting a happy face.
My husband and I had a blast picking ripe and sweet blackberries yesterday. Our basket that holds at least four pounds did not take long to fill. I was a happy camper! This morning I made Blackberry Pie and Blackberry Ice Cream. Both came out very, very good. The Blackberry ice cream was especially Wow~! :P
This pie turned really well. I love how you can still feel the texture of the blackberry. Although, I should have baked the bottom crust first ( it was underdone,hence a bit floury in middle) but the top crust was perfect, I might say,. it was very flakey. But don't slice it before chilling or the stuffing will ooze out. Ayyayay! Served it with a scoop of homemade blackberry and french vanilla ice cream.. I thought i'd died and went to pie heaven! ;P
