This pie is easy, and delicious. I did not have tapioca, used 2 tbl cornstarch, and it came out great. I used fresh blackberries. I will make this for the MIL!(o;

I did not have a positive result as others have reported. The filling had an odd almost chemical-like aftertaste. Used fresh berries that tasted great prior to baking the pie. Maybe it was the tapioca??, Just not sure.

This was excellent the only thing I did different was swap splenda for the sugar so my hubby could enjoy it thanks

This was good but sadly I used a bad crust. I used frozen raspberries because my store did not have blackberries either frozen or fresh!! For the flour I used white rice flour to be gluten free, regular tapioca, etc. I used Recipe #362132 as the crust. I may make this again with blackberries if I find a good gluten free flaky crust. Made for RECIPE SWAP #39 - April 2010 - Group 9 - Coconut Ice.

This is excellent. We loved this beautiful pie. It was not the prettiest pie that I have ever made, but it is one of the best tasting pies, I have ever tried. I used frozen berries, they worked perfectly, resulting in a lovely blackberry treat. I didn't have any problems except that the crust cracked, the filling was thick and silky while the crust was tender and flaky. Thanks so much for sharing a recipe that I will make again and again. :)
