Back in the Saddle - Strawberry Blackberry Pie

I hadn't made any pies in 6 months. It could have been wanting to loose weight, or likely just that I have been swamped with my daughter, business and starting a school. Anyways, I had been on a pie hiatus, much to the chagrin of my husband.

The hiatus was broken with a mixed berry pie. We had a bunch of strawberries reaching the end of their rope so I combined them with other blackberries from the market into this pie.

Blackberry Strawberry Pie

• Double Crust (2 times this recipe)
• 3 c strawberry
• 1 pint blackberries
• 3/4 c sugar
• 1/4 c tapioca

Mix the berries with all the other ingredients and put in the bottom shell, fold over the top shell. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes until bubbles.

Hubby, my daughter, my next door neighbor and my M-I-L are shared in the pie and expressed their happiness that I was back in the pie business. It thought it was pretty good too. And this time I refrigerated the crust while I did the berries and it seemed to make the process much smoother; it was the best crust in a while.
