Wow! I am NOT a chef, in the least. Yet I followed this recipe precisely and ended up with three scrumptious homemade blackberry pies! This is the first year that our blackberry tree (not a bush; a tree!) in our backyard produced edible fruit! Of course, I was raised in the deep south and enjoyed blackberry-bush cobbler on many occasions. I spent 3 hours harvesting 12 cups of ripe blackberries from the tree; they're smaller than a regular bush blackberry. Then I searched the Internet and found this recipe (I needed a simple recipe right away). Michelle is right; this recipe will never let you down! The only thing I had trouble with was laying down the top pie crust without tearing it up; I should've left it in the refrigerator/freezer until right before I needed it, instead of letting it lay on the counter for several minutes ahead of time. Thanks, Michelle, for that yummy recipe. And yes, the vanilla ice cream to top the warm pie with is most essential. Yum-yum! Jimbob

Makes an excellent pie. So easy to do. I made mine into 4 1/2" pies. One recipe does two pies. Just the right size for 2 people. Jo

Excellent! Unsweetened blackberries on top provide a delicious contrasting taste.

An absolutely fabulous pie!!!!!!! I found a mistake in the recipe's list of ingredients. This pie calls for a double pie crust, not a single pie crust.

This pie is really truly delicious. My whole family loved it and wondered when I became such a good cook. It was so easy and simple to make, that my little brother could have done it if he wanted to.

I loved this pie, although good black berries are key. I made it a lattice top, which was absolutly beautiful. I found it needed to be cooked for the full 25 min. with the lattice top. Also, if you add razberrys (which was also yummy) increase the ammount of sugar and four so it isn't runny.

Very fast and easy. I used two 16 oz packages of frozen berries and added 1&1/2 Tablespoons of Tapocia to thicken. It turned out great, no running when the pie was cut.

This was my very first berry pie. I was nervous. Your recipe was quick, simple, and very tasty!! Thanks for the great recipe. I liked the milk and sugar on the top crust. It gave the pie a nice look. Thanks again.

With all ready prepared pie crusts even the littlest cook can prepare this pie with minimal supervision. Common ingredients make the job more likely to be prepared. Worth trying!
