Brigid's Blackberry Pie
Recipe by Edain McCoy (Makes one nine-inch pie) 4 cups fresh blackberries (thawed frozen is okay) 1-1/2 cups sugar 1/3 cup flour 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon salt Unbaked pie crust
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a deep pie dish with the pie crust, or purchase a commercially-made one. Set aside. Mix all other ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. If it appears too "wet", mix in a little more flour (about 2 tablespoons). Turn the fruit into the pie shell and dot with butter or margarine. You can bake the pie as is, or cover it with another pie crust. If you do this, pinch down the ends to hold it to the other crust. Then score the top several times with a sharp knife. Bake for 1 hour, or until the top crust is a golden brown. (Note: A sugar-free version can be made by substituting appropriate amounts of artificial sweetener.)
