Cherry Berry Pie.

Doesn't it look like an evil face with a creepy beard?

We made sure to pick enough berries that we'd be able to make jam and still have enough for pie too. I've never made a pie before (aside from the kind made with chocolate pudding, yum!) and after making two batches of jam and removing all of the cherry pits by hand, I was tired, so I opted for store bought crust. This pie was so good that we immediately ate all but 2 slices. Yeah, we're piggos.

Ingredients:

4 cups fruit (cherries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, whatever suits your fancy)
3/4 c. white sugar
1/4 c. all purpose flour
1/2 t. cinnamon
1 t. vanilla extract
1/2 t. lemon juice
1 T. butter
your favorite pie crust, homemade or store bought. You'll need a double 9 inch round. I used Pillsbury because my mom said that sometimes the off brands dry out really badly.

Mix sugar, flour and cinnamon in a bowl.

Add fruit, vanilla extract and lemon juice. Stir until you can no longer see any sugar or flour and it looks like you have wet fruit.

After placing your bottom pie crust into a 9 inch pie dish, pour fruit mixture into pie crust.

Dot the top of the fruit with butter.

Add the top pie crust. Squish the edges together, make slits in the top.

Here is a slideshow on decorative pie edges. Side note: Why does Good Housekeeping's website look like it hasn't been redesigned since the 1970s? Not feeling the color combo.

Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hr. It might be good to place a cookie sheet underneath just incase your pie bubbles over. Mine did a little tiny bit.

Let pie cool for a bit and then dig in and enjoy!

Ours was made from cherries, black raspberries, and raspberries. I want to go pick more cherries to make a cherry pie. Cherries are my favorite!
