  1. "They look like little gems!" Oh, because they are!

    I spent my childhood in a village called Cayuga in Ontario, Canada in the 70s. It was pretty rustic! There were multiple bushes of blackberries at the back of our yard which backed onto a wild space. In season, all of the neighbourhood kids had purple fingers and mouths! Yummeeee!!!

  2. That's all well and good, but who has enough space in there fridge, it would be nice to have all that space. you need to be like regular kitchens, that don't have all those things. who can afford all that. we have to work with what we got and can afford. you guys aren't real. it's all a show……

  3. We had a yard with a lot of berries–primarily Boysens, with some Logans (great mix!). We were in the SF Bay Area. My Mom's trick for berry pies–of which we ate LOTS in the summers–was to mash up some of the berries (maybe 1/2 c) with the sugar, cornstarch, and a little lemon juice (we had a couple of trees) and heat them on the stove to activate the cornstarch. Then she'd pour the mixture over the berries in a pre-cooked shell. No top crust. I think she baked it briefly, but I'd have to check her recipe, which I don't have with me. Then she'd chill it until we were through dinner. Once in a while, there'd even be a piece left for the next day.

  4. I actually know how to do a proper lattice top crust but sometimes doing it is a pain cause it's a bit tedious. Doing it the easy way looks just as good and unless you're entering a contest nobody is even going to notice.

  5. In the Eastern U.S., from Maine to Florida, you cannot find sweet, ripe blackberries in any grocery store, including the more expensive ones. And if the blackberries aren't sour, then they're tasteless. A real shame.

  6. Making a blackberry pie is not different than other berry pies. They all have some starch to thicken them. Personally this pie looks much too thick and the crust too thick and doughy on the fruit side. There isn't anything difficult about making a "real" lattice top! Who waits four hours to tuck into a freshly baked pie? Making a fruit pie so stiff it does not ooze, is certainly not a goal most want.
