I definitely don't bake with blackberries enough. This pie is going right to the top of my "to bake" list. So yummy!
What a beautiful pie! Your pictures are always so gorgeous 🙂 Love the addition of meringue, unusual for blackberries! 😀
Hi Aimee! Your pie looks incredible. Have you been on hiatus? I haven't received a post from you for such a long time. I've missed your wonderful recipes and your beautiful photos.
The tart looks fabulous. Blackberries were gone from my garden in late August (in New Hampshire). I'll try this next year.
