If this pie doesn’t solicit lustful advances and unrequited love from your partner, then dump the good-for-nothing. Eat the rest. And toss clothing with saddle out the front door. Seriously, this is\u00a0wild<\/em> blackberry pie!<\/p>\n

\"Blackberry<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s only two ingredients that really matter: the berries and the butter. Wild blackberries are mouth puckering tart and\u00a0lip smacking sweet with less moisture content than store bought. And they are free, because you stop at the side of the road and pick them yourself or sneak into your neighbor’s back forty and harvest. (Don’t get caught.)<\/p>\n

\"Homemade<\/a><\/div>\n

Check out this butter that Farmer Kate made at Echo Valley farm! And the color! I have never tasted butter with such\u00a0Incredible depth of flavor \u2013 not even in France. If homemade butter is not a possibility look for European styles like Plugra or Strauss.<\/p>\n

Of course the flour matters too; I use organic when possible. We are not milling flour on the farm but\u00a0Pie Ranch<\/a> is down the road. And, by the way, they are hosting a farm to table dinner with a barn dance this Saturday. Lots of pie for dessert if you’re in town.<\/p>\n

I adapted an old recipe from Bon Appetit for the pie crust. It’s the only one I know that is flaky, all butter, and does not get soggy with a juicy filling. This pie should be juicy. The coagulated cornstarch amorphous blackberry blob just doesn’t cut it.<\/p>\n

\"Blackberry<\/a><\/div>\n

Correction: I was forced to “adapt” the recipe due to the available selection.<\/p>\n

Normally the crust is a combination of cake and all-purpose flour. But when I asked at the local store for cake flour the response was: “Honey, we just don’t get that specialized around here.” Jeez, was it my Lulu Lemon yoga outfit and freshly coiffed hair-do that misconstrued my normal free spirit for some snooty high falutin’ city girl? Honestly, I didn’t miss it. The crust was great.<\/p>\n

I’ll leave you the unadapted pie crust recipe. Or you can do what I did and sub the cake flour for all-purpose \u2013 if you’re not feelin’ too specialized!<\/p>\n
