Black and blue birthday

No,no. I didn't beat up my husband and made him black and blue on his birthday. Since my husband doesn't care much for cake, I offered to let him pick the pie of the month. He picked blackberry and blueberry. Happy Birthday to Dave!

Instead of lattice style I wanted to try a hole cut out and then did slits to make a sunshine design. It was fun!

I used the same Barefoot Contessa Perfect Pie Crust Recipe.
The pie filling I used All Recipes Again: Blackberry and Blueberry Pie
Comments:
The new thing I tried this time was to protect the crust edges, instead of cutting strips of foil and arching it around the crust, I did something else. I read to make two large sheets of foil and make a + and lay it on the counter. Place the pie in the center and then wrap the edges of the pie from the outside. It was a lot easier and they didn't fall off!

As you can see, it leaked. I was nervous that if I undercooked and under-filled it, it would be runny and/or sunk in the center. Anxiety has its price with baking. The pie was wonderful (though I still think my strawberry rhubarb is still the best so far!).

Now Bake That!
