I think the best berries in the world are grown in the Ozarks. We own a small berry farm, and this is one of my favorite recipes. It's delicious served warm. —Elaine Moody, Clever, Missouri

I've tried several berry pies and this one is definitely a winner

Delicious - I was using frozen mixed berries so I didn't cook the blueberries down but it still turned out excellent. Great flavor and it set well, nothing more annoying than a runny berry pie ;)

Wow, this is so yummy. Thanks for the recipe, Elaine.

I doubled this filling for my deep dish pie plate. I also added an extra 1/4 C sugar and only 1T lemon juice. This was a great pie with vanilla ice cream. Wouldn't change a thing. Sometimes blackberries are not very sweet even though we live in berry country (Oregon) so I always add a little more sugar. Great!

Nothing better than a fresh berry pie.

Very good recipe and versatile. I used this recipe twice. I made a one-crust pie, and topped with a crumb crust. The second time, I made as a berry crisp to save time. I put the filling in a dish and covered with a crumb topping. I served with ice cream and everyone loved it.

Can I use apples, cranberries, and raspberries instead?

Have made it four times already except just used blackberries and sugar substitute. Still tasted wonderful and disappeared in minutes. Family loved it and didn't know it contained no sugar! I'll keep making it until I'm no longer able to cook!
