My 15 year old granddaughter made this (with just a little help) using blackberries we had picked a few hours earlier. Easy and delicious. My husband thought it was the best fruit pie he had ever eaten. Wouldn’t change a thing. Look forward to trying with other berries.

Low to medium low and add a little more cornstarch, and plan for closer to 20 minutes for it to thicken.

Strawberries also need the juice of one lemon. If the strawberries are “store bought” ( in a Maggie Smith accent) and not fully ripe add both the puree and whole ones to the hot sugar glaze and let marinate before filling shell.

I used fresh blackberries. A little fresh lemon juice would add tang.

This was the perfect simple recipe! Thanks, NYT!
