Ingredients

  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • Pinch of salt
  • 5-6 cups blackberries can use more or less to taste
  • 5 teaspoons butter cut into small bits

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400. Place a heavy duty rimmed baking sheet in the oven as it preheats.
  • Have ready an unbaked pie crust in a 9 inch deep dish.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon and salt. Add 5 cups of blackberries and stir to coat.
  • Put the filling in the crust and try to pat it down a bit. At this point you can decide if you need more blackberries. Dot with butter.
  • Roll out remaining crust and lay over pie. Seal edges, then cut a few slashes to release steam. Alternatively, use a cookie cutter and cut out circles, then lay circles of dough decoratively over top.
  • Set on the hot baking sheet and bake 30 minutes at 400 degrees F.
  • Reduce heat and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees F.
  • Let the pie cool for several hours, then chill briefly. Return to room temperature before serving.
