Pie composed of blackberry filling
Blackberry pie is a pie composed of blackberry filling, usually in the form of either blackberry jam, actual blackberries themselves, or some combination thereof. Blackberry pie is tart, so it requires more sugar than blueberry pie. Blackberries can be stewed or soaked in water before baking to prevent burning, an issue not presented in preparing blueberry pie.
History.
In a newspaper, George Washington is said to eat blackberry pie, with a face which "can't tell whether he was pleased or was premature". In Abraham Lincoln's first inauguration lunch, one of his meals was blackberry pie. For the 200th anniversary of the Kentucky Down Under Cavern, a blackberry pie eating contest was included to commemorate a girl trying to get blackberries and finding the cave.
Recipes.
Some recipes use wild blackberries, while others use store-bought mixed blueberries. Sugar, vanilla extract, corn starch and lemon zest are mostly used for the filling, while eggs and butter are sometimes used. Rolled pie crust is used to make the crust, while dough is sometimes used.
