Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 2 cups fresh blackberries Juicy and bursting with flavor!
  • 1/4 cup sugar Adjust to your taste!
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice Bring in that zesty kick.
  • 1/2 teaspoon lime zest For even more zing!
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch To thicken the filling.
  • 1/2 cup water Essential for cooking the delicious filling.
For the crust
  • 1 pie crust pre-baked pie crust Or you can make your own.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, toss together the blackberries, sugar, lime juice, lime zest, cornstarch, and water. Give it a gentle stir.
  2. Over medium heat, cook the blackberry mixture until it starts bubbling, about 5-7 minutes. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.
  3. Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. Pour the blackberry-lime filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for about 1-2 hours or until set.
  6. Slice and serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Don’t overmix when combining the berries and sugar; adjust sweetness to taste and feel free to substitute with other berries.
