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!

I made this last night, taste awesome. The only problem I had was the pie setting up. I don't have very good luck with cornstarch so will try wonder flour next time. Will make this several times again.

ickly. Add vanilla ice cream to sweeten the treat.

I absolutely LOVE this recipe! The flavor is perfect and it sets up nicely. I use frozen berries for convenience and have done this both as a pie and as a cobbler. It never lasts long! I do add extra raspberries because I like the flavor and it sets up fine.

I made this pie on the weekend and found it a bit too sweet for our tastes....I will try it again but cut the sugar and/or add a bit more lemon juice (like the lime idea too) The pie set up very nicely and looked pretty too..topped with some good vanilla ice cream....mmm.

I highly reccomend making this pie. I've made it five times. I love the raves I get. Sometimes I'll add another kind of berry to it. Like tart cherries. :)

This is one of the best pies I have ever made. My sister Helen now makes it too. She is making two for the coming Easter Holiday. Helen is the pie maker in the family.

Great recipe! I use lime juice as well, makes a nice flavor.

I made two of these pies over the weekend. Everyone raved about them. I was concerned that the fruit might be runny, but the filling came out perfect. I was told they really were award winning!!

I also use this filling as a topping for cheesecake.
