"Creamy. Delicious. Lurid purple. What else could anyone want, in a pie?
This recipe is incredibly tasty, the bananas a perfect addition to the sweet berry custard."

Tried this last night with my family, and it didn't get very good reviews. The bananas turned out leathery after cooking for an hour and the mulberries didn't add much flavour to the pie. The custard set nicely, and I might use this custard pie as a base for something else (like rhubarb pie maybe).
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I grew up watching my mom cook. Now, my mom is one of those people who can't actually follow a recipe - she always ALWAYS modifies things to her own tastes, and usually makes them better.
Both my brother and I have developed a love of food through my mom. While I am just a chef-for-fun, my brother is actually studying to get his culinary arts degree! I'm proud to say I've taught him a thing or two about cooking along the way... and I'm even more proud that now he's turned around and started teaching me things.
