Fresh Blackberry Pie

This pie is not as sweet as some. I don't like fruit pies sickeningly sweet (but just a tad on the tart side), but if you like yours sweeter, just increase the sugar. You might also want to consider your berries before adding the sugar- taste one first and see. Early season ones are often not as sweet and may need a bit more sugar. Be sure to watch the crust on your pie and cover it with foil or a guard if it starts to brown excessively.

We had a ton of blackberries and I needed to use them... I found this recipe and gave it a try (never had blackberry pie before). It was really good! A little tart, a little sweet... I subbed Splenda for the sugar, and it worked fine (but wasn't as syrupy as pie filling usually is). I used with recipe #13619.
