I made this last night using home grown berries. It was really good. Hubby thought it was a little tart and suggested more sugar. I did think it was a tad tart, but I am not sure I would add more sugar either. I don't mind. Eating it with vanilla ice cream would do the trick, I am sure. Either way, I liked this recipe and will definitely make it again. It was really easy. I paired it with the crust found here-http://www.food.com/recipe/martha-stewarts-pate-brisee-basic-pie-crust-229387- and added a little powdered sugar to the crust. I had seen another crust call for that so I decided to try it. I did not love it raw, but it tasted great all put together.

This pie is phenomenal! I served it as dessert for Father's Day today. I hadn't even finished serving a portion to everyone when my mom and sister had already finished theirs and were asking for more while raving that it was one of the best pies they've had. In fact, my sister left with the recipe in her purse after begging me for it and swearing that she was going to make it soon. I served with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top. I couldn't take a decent picture because everyone was helping themselves so fast. Needless to say, I had no leftovers. Thanks, Lynn! Made for ZWT6.
