This is a favorite pie at our house.

Black Raspberry Pie

4 cups fresh or frozen black raspberries
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
5-6 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons butter
1 double crust recipe


Squeeze lemon juice on berries and toss. Mix together dry ingredients then toss into the berries making sure that they are well coated.
Pour berry mixture on bottom crust, dot with 2 tablespoons of butter. Put on top crust. Make slits in the crust and brush with an egg wash, then sprinkle with a little sugar.
Bake at 425 for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for 40 minutes. I put a metal pie crust r.im around the pie to keep the outer crust from getting too brown.
