The Spice King’s Blackberry-Blueberry Pie

Looking for the perfect pie to share with friends and family, Try The Spice King’s Blackberry-Blueberry pie. The combination and flavor of the berries is amazing. You can use this recipe to make an all blueberry pie, or an all blackberry pie also! Lattice top or crumb topping works perfectly! When I was younger, My grandma June would always make pies for us during berry season! Her crust and texture of pies still linger in my heart and I am so happy to share the memory of her and her great cooking with you! Hope you enjoy eating these pies as much as I do!
