Dew Berry Pie recipe

[jmrob93]

I was at the farm thursday checking the deer feeders and putting in corn when I saw some dew berries nearby then it occurred to me-- it's that time of year

My mom's birthday is April 28 and you can almost set your sundial by berries being ripe the week of her birthday

I picked about 2 quarts--ate about a cup while picking them ( yep unwashed)

I decided to surprise my mom with a pie-- her favorite treat

I called my mom's best friend to get her recipe
standard thawed pie crust
add a half cup of sugar ( tsp of OJ optional) and 2 tsp butter to a quart of berries--cook on low until berries render juice--then slow/low boil for 5 to 10 minutes
let cool and thicken then add to pie crust then cover with crust-- bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 10-12 minutes until crist is golden--let cool on a rack

wow-- I amazed myself on this one--you can't mess up this simple recipe-- the tartness/freshness is impossible to beat

Just like as a kid-- kick the bush - look to see if snake heard you--then pick--some things never change

ah the simple pleasures-- I saw a huge patch of very ripe berries a block before the horse track in houston on Fairbanks the next day-- peopel would think you were nuts if they saw you picking berries out there

My Grandmother used to make the best dew berry cobbler. Deep dish with thick flakey criss cross crust dusted with sugar.

Still green this far north (Buda).
I have been eyeing a patch that is on our road, it won't be long.
Funniest thing I ever saw on a bike ride.
We were doing the Great Austin to Shiner pedal, when 2 bikes in front of me veered into the ditch. The bikers leaped off of their bikes and ran to the fence.
I thought they crashed, but when I cruised by, they were gobbling dewberries right off of the vine.
