Just made this recipe exactly as stated and have to say it did come out right. I have many years of pie making so this was not the first. The sugar did not completely dissolve and it was like soup. don't know why, but I think it was too much sugar. Won't be using this recipe againReply

I love blackberry pie. This is a good recipe. The only substitution I made was to use cornstarch instead of flour. I used berries I picked this summer and froze. Made for Culinary Quest 2014.Reply
