Best Pie In The Entire World

Yesterday was my dad's birthday, but we didn't celebrate it because no one was home. So today I made it up to him by making him two birthday pies. One was a Chocolate cream pie. The other was a Bumbleberry Pie. It's our favorite! When my brother and I were little we would call it bumblebee pie, because we couldn't quite say berry correctly. So here's how you make the bumbleberry filling...
Mix 1 and 1/4 cups sugar with a 1/4 cup of flour and a teaspoon of cinnamon. Then mix in a cup of blueberries, a cup of raspberries, and two cups of either blackberries or boysenberries. (I like the blackberries better myself.) Pour mixture into pie crust. Put a tablespoon and a half of butter on top of mixture (slice it into smaller pieces.) Lay top crust over filling, close crust off, and poke five holes in the top using a fork. Stick in the oven at 425 degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes. (In order to avoid burnt crusts, you can wrap tin foil around the edges of the pie.

For best results, make your own crusts. It only takes some flour, salt, shortening,  cold water, a a few minutes of your time. And it winds up tasting way better. Anyway, I'm off to enjoy some of my delicious pie!!!
