My husband and I don't usually like berry pies, but my pregnancy seems to have brought on some cravings so I decided to try this recipe. It was great!! After reading the reviews, I decided to add 3/4 cup of sugar to the berries since there were a lot of comments about it being a bit tart, and I omitted the milk and sugar topping step due to the comments about the crust being soggy. I made this pie in mid-January so I was only able to find a small package of fresh blackberries at the gourmet grocery store, and so I used 3 cups frozen Dole brand blackberries and 1 cup fresh. (We actually found that the frozen ones cooked to a nicer texture than the fresh). I used my own crust recipe, and tented the pie for the first 15 minutes- which I don't think I needed to do since I ended up having to bake it for about 10 minutes longer to brown it in the end. Anyhow, it does slice beautifully-no oozing (which even the best apple pies tend to do) and we loved it with the vanilla ice cream.
