    Mother's Day Bumbleberry Pie

    Makes one 9-inch pie
    This is a delicious pie during the summer months. There’s no such thing as a bumbleberry, it’s just the name people give to this pie because it has all sorts of fruits in it. You can use whatever fruits are available or in season. Substitute seasonal fruits using the same amounts.

    My Mom had us all over for a Mother's Day lunch yesterday.  Yes, I know, we should have taken her out to lunch, not had her serve a lunch...but, that's what she wanted to do.  She wanted to have all the family over...soooo...one thing I've learned is once Mom has made up her mind on something like that it doesn't do much good to try to talk  her out of it.  One of her favorite desserts to prepare out of the Amish Cook archives (a requirement for anyone in my family) is "bumbleberry pie."  No such thing as a bumbleberry, so please don't go to your local grocer asking for them. Rather the term is basically a Canadian catch-all for a fruit free for all. Traditionally the pie - which originates in Canada - was packed with various berries, but true to Amish tradition, once they got ahold of the recipe they started adding rhubarb.  Mom's not a big rhubarb fan so she jettisoned that for blackberries. You could also use other fruits like peaches....I overheard Mom musing about whether pineapple could be used...not sure once you get into those acidic citruses how it would fare.  Pineapple doesn't bake very well.  But, sure, experiment!  This is a wonderfully refreshing summer pie so be "berry" creative and have at it!:)  Top picture is Mom's beautiful pie and here is my slice of delicious pie!  look how it is just bursting with berries and fruit. Yum! The recipe is below.

      The picture has my mouth watering already and I can't wait to try this. All of the different fruits in there it sounds delicious! We don't use our oven much in the summer down here it makes the a/c work to hard, so we may have to wait just a bit. Anticipation is good!!!
