"This recipe reminds me of when I was a little girl and mom and I would go blackberry picking. She was very allergic to poison ivy, so we stopped going after a couple of years; however, we still were (and are) treated to her awesome blackberry pie!!! It really reminds me of summer holidays, especially the 4th of July. Oh, and that's my sister reviewing this recipe--she's a snot, and also 9 years younger than me, so she doesn't REMEMBER blackberry picking with mom! *sticks out tongue* LOL"
