Blackberry pie is pie composed of blackberry filling, usually in the form of either blackberry jam, actual blackberries themselves, or some combination thereof. Blackberry pie is somewhat sweeter than blueberry pie, usually requiring only a sprinkle of sugar for taste, whereas the number of cups of sugar required for blueberry pie is usually 1/5 the number of cups of blueberries used. Blackberries must be stewed or soaked in water prior to baking to prevent burning, a concern not present in preparing blueberry pie.[1] Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 800 Ã 600 pixelsFull resolution (2816 Ã 2112 pixel, file size: 599 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) Picture taken by me in September, 2006. ...

Blackberries are not in season yet, but this pie takes well to the use of quality frozen berries—just thaw them first.
I like to top this pie with a lattice crust, but a full top crust is has its merits, too, because it gives the pie more structure and is not as fussy to assemble.
An open pie with no top crust is equally nice; the garnet depths of the filling are visually striking, and it eliminates a big chunk of calories—although pie is ultimately not about eliminating calories.
