BLACKBERRIES & CREAM PIE
Here is the all time favorite Blackberry Pie in our house.  It is so easy that a child could make it

Ingredients:
1 9-inch unbaked pie shell
4 c. fresh blackberries
2/3-1 c. sugar, depending on tartness of berries
rounded 1/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. (1/2 pint) whipping cream, unwhipped

Directions:
Mix together sugar, flour, salt & cinnamon.
Gradually stir in whipping cream & mix well being sure there are no lumps.
Pour over berries which have been placed in a medium mixing bowl.
Gently mix till berries are all coated with cream mixture.
Pour into the unbaked pastry shell.
Gently encase edge of pastry with strips of aluminum foil to prevent crust from getting too brown.
Bake in a 400ºF oven for 35-45 minutes until crust is brown & filling is set.
Reduce oven temp. to 375ºF  if you use a dark colored non stick pie pan.
Remove pie from oven & cool to lukewarm on a cooling rack.
Place uncovered in refrigerator to cool completely before covering.
Store covered leftovers in refrigerator. Yield:  1 9 inch pie
Note:  You may substitute raspberries, strawberries, or any other berries that you might have on hand (may use thawed berries also).
