I had to make this recipe because I was born and raised in Oregon. I don't know much about Oregon Fruit brand because I only bought a 15-oz can and wound up a little short to fill the pie. In a pinch, I threw in a bunch of fresh frozen raspberries with the blueberry mixture (the color was gorgeous). When I was squeezing my lemon juice I got some pulp in it and decided to add more because it would be a great lemon taste and an interesting texture. I liked TomSawyer's idea of topping with sugar and made a cinnamon sugar mixture which I enjoyed. Thank you for putting up with all my science experiments because I had a great time making this pie, and it's quite delicious. Made for Spring Pac 2009. Thank you TomSawyer!

<p>I live in Minnesota (brr) and enjoy cooking, reading, and relaxing. My real name is Brianna so feel free to call me by that name. I have just finished my first year of college. Looking forward to cooking over the summer :)</p>
<p>Also, if you were wondering about my username that is because whenever I sign up for a site that requires a username this is what I would use (since it is unique and when I first came up with it I was reading Tom Sawyer). I guess I could change it but I haven't.</p>
