Blackberry Basil Pie Recipe 465

SWEET BASIL AND BLACKBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Serving suggestions: Serve on toasted bread, alongside cheeses, or on lamb chops. Mix with yogurt and granola, or layer in desserts or parfaits.
• Place the blackberries and their juice in a medium saucepan and lightly mash with a fork. In a food processor, combine the basil, sugar, orange juice and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Stir the mixture into the blackberries and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until the mixture is thick, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the jam to cool for 1 hour (the jam will continue to thicken as it cools). Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

BLACKBERRY-BASIL TART

Steps:

• Stir together sour cream and 3/4 cup sugar. Scrape in vanilla bean seeds; stir to combine. Discard pod. Refrigerate filling, covered, until firm, about 3 hours or up to 2 days, before using.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Press dough into a 13 3/4-by-4 1/4-by-1-inch oblong tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim edges of dough flush with pan. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Bake until golden and crisp, about 18 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• Stir together blackberries, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon water, basil, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring gently, until berries have softened and released their juices and mixture is warmed through, about 2 minutes.
• Spoon sour cream filling into tart shell. Top with the berry mixture. Garnish with basil sprigs.

BLACKBERRY PIE I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine 3 1/2 cups berries with the sugar and flour. Spoon the mixture into an unbaked pie shell. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup berries on top of the sweetened berries, and cover with the top crust. Seal and crimp the edges, and cut vents in the top crust for steam to escape.
• Brush the top crust with milk, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature of the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Cool on wire rack.

OLD FASHIONED BLACKBERRY PIE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• To Prepare the Pie Crust: Place the 1 cup of flour (140 grams) and the salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix to combine. With the mixer running on low speed, add the butter a small handful at a time. When all the butter has been added, increase the speed to medium-low and mix for about 1 minute, until the butter is thoroughly blended. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Turn the speed to medium-low, and add the remaining 1 cup + 3 tablespoons of flour (165 grams), and mix just to combine. Add the water and mix until incorporated. The dough will come up around the paddle and should feel smooth, not sticky, to the touch. Remove the dough from the mixer and check to be certain that there are no visible pieces of butter remaining. Pat the dough into two equal sized disks and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but preferably overnight. (It can also be frozen for up to 1 month.) Rolling out the dough: Unwrap the dough and place it between two pieces of parchment or plastic wrap. (I very lightly flour the one side of the parchment paper to prevent sticking.) With a rolling pin, pound the top of the dough, working from one side of the dough to the other, to begin to flatten the dough; turn the dough 90 degrees and repeat. Roll out the dough, in the parchment, from the center outward, rotating and flipping the dough over frequently, to the dimensions needed for the desired pan. Remove the top piece of parchment and invert the dough into the pan, pressing it gently against the sides and into the bottom edges. Remove the remaining parchment. Freeze the dough for 30 minutes or refrigerate for an hour. To Assemble the Pie: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add the softened butter and combine using a fork. Add the sugar/butter mixture to the 4 cups of blackberries and toss gently until combined. Spoon the mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Place top crust onto filled pie. Fold edges over and crimp and flute edges. Cut slits in top crust or prick with fork to allow steam to escape. Bake for 1 hour (I have to bake it for 1 hour 10 minutes) or until filling in center is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Cool to room temperature for serving. *Red raspberries may be substituted for blackberries. **Put a sheet of foil on bottom of the oven to catch spillage from the pie.

SHE'S MY BLACKBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Press 1 pie pastry into bottom of a 9-inch pie pan.
• Mix blackberries, sugar, flour, and lemon juice together in a large bowl. Pour into prepared crust.
• Slice second pie crust into 1-inch strips; weave a lattice pattern over the top of the pie. Seal the lattice ends to the bottom pastry with a dab of water; crimp edges together. Brush lattice top with beaten egg.
• Bake pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Loosely cover pie with aluminum foil to prevent burning; bake until pie is bubbling, 10 to 15 more minutes.
