Blackberry Sour Cream Pie

I found some fresh blackberries last week at the store, and felt like pie would be in order. (I always do think pie is in order.) This beautiful pie is a berries-and-cream kind of experience, rich and delicious-but easy to assemble. The recipe comes from a booklet of pies and pastries compiled by home economics teachers.

Blackberry Sour Cream Pie
1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell (or click here for a pastry recipe)
4 c. fresh blackberries
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 c. sifted flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. sour cream
2 Tbsp. sugar

Place cleaned blackberries in pie shell. Sift sugar, flour and salt into a bowl, stir in sour cream to combine; mix well. Pour cream mixture over berries, sprinkle top with 2 Tbsp. sugar.  Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees, bake for 30 minutes longer.  Cool on wire rack.
