Who doesn't like pie?

I spent some quality time making two pies yesterday. I had a meeting to attend and pie has been scientifically proven to smooth over difficult meetings. I made a marionberry pie and a cherry- raspberry pie.

 
For the filling:
6 cups of fruit (3 cups sour pie cherries, 3 cups raspberries)
1 cup of sugar
6 Tab. instant tapioca
1 Tab. butter
1-2 Tab. raw sugar

Place the fruit in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and the tapioca. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the fruit and gently toss together. Pour into the bottom of a 9 in. pie plate lined with crust. Break butter into small pieces and dot on top of fruit. Top with top crust and sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350° and bake for another 45- 60minutes. A pie is done when the filling is bubbling. Allow to cool for 4-5 hours. Enjoy!

  1. Pie just puts everybody in a good mood, right? And you can't argue with a mouth full of pie!
