Want a blackberry pie recipe?
Rosanna wrote about blackberries this week in her Plain Kansas column, which dovetailed nicely with my day yesterday. I picked up a delicious blackberry pie at a Mennonite bakery.
Doesn't this look delicious? And it doesn't just LOOK delicious, it TASTES delicious!:) I'm not typically a huge blackberry fan, but this is a good pie. Especially with a scoop of ice cream on top! The blackberry pie recipe below is one given to me by an Amish woman in Illinois and makes a similar pie, I'm sure, to the one in the photo.
