Blueberry and Raspberry Pie

Irmgard's Note:

I found this recipe years ago in Homemaker's Magazine and it's a big favourite at my house, especially in the summer when fresh berries are plentiful. You can make it in the winter with frozen berries as this recipe calls for and it's just as good.

What a yummy combo! I used fresh raspberries from the garden and blueberries that I had frozen earlier this summer. Especially easy to do with a prepared pie crust from the dairy case.
