Homegrown Strawberry and a HomeMade Blackberry Pie

I've been a busy little bee these past few weeks. We Ooo'd and Aaar'd at our Strawberry that grew in my little garden.


This was promptly being eaten a few seconds later. I'm very lucky to have taken a photo.


My Brother @Altias (twitter) and I (@jelibe) went blackberry picking the other day and just in time too cause the council were using there power saws to chop it all up! I was agast but we got stuck in and we managed to get 2 cups of blackberries which I've made for my pie today.





This recipe is very easy and was really tasty. I'd really recommend Ice cream, cream or custard with this. I got the recipe from this site and its called Simple Blackberry Pie. If your a beginner like me this is a great one to start with. You can't really go round, even if, like me, you don't get enough shortcrust pastry for it (note to self: buy more next time). Its very forgiving as you can see I just did a pastry top.

I couldn't wait to taste it before taking a picture so that's my portion eaten, I can't hide from the truth, I'm the only one here! ha ha!
