Now that that is out in the open, what is a knitter to do when she has more blackberries than the children and wildlife can sneak from the bushes when her back is turned? You add tons of sugar and you make pie. Blackberry ooey gooey pie. I followed the recipe found here.
First I added the heaping scoop of sugar, some lemon zest, cornstarch, and a healthy squeeze of lemon to the berries. I really enjoy lemon with my berries - gives them a nice zing!
The children helped me pinch the pie crust. Honestly, I could not have done better.
When the berries were nice and juicy from their sugar bath they went straight into the crust and covered with some swanky lattice work. Pretty!
Brush with a little egg wash, into the oven, and wait, and PIE. Yum.
in the Fat Cat Knits spin along!
