So on Sunday our little family went for an walk in the afternoon sun. We found a trail through some public fields and there were blackberry bushes everywhere. Needless to say I got a hankering to make pie. The funny thing is that I love to make pie. The fist summer I was married I swear I made a pie out of every fresh fruit possible. This is the funny part, I only like to eat one or two pieces, mostly i just like the process and beauty of pie making. I think it is the sculptural aspect. My poor husband probably gained all of his excess weight that summer eating all of those pies.
I also always have a little bit of pie crust left over and I hate wasting food. So I made these little cutouts...
Then I filled them with a dollop of homemade blackberry jam and pinched them up into cute little squares.
After they cooked for 25 minutes we ate them up. Yum!

Hey!! Welcome to blog land. You need to add me to your blog list. tcjperkes.blogspot.com . That pie looks very yummy I am jealous of you being able to pick blackberries.
Yum! We too picked blackberries and I hoped to get a pie baked but my little one's ate too many and we didn't have enough for a pie!
Glad you are blogging now!
