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 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.

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.
