Episode 15: Blackberry Pie (camping style)

What you need:
1 Pie Crust
4 Cups Fresh Blackberries
1 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Flour

What to do:
Combine sugar and flour. Add blackberries and stir gently.

If you're at home, using an oven: Top with crust and cook for about an hour in a 350 degree oven. Cover with foil if crust starts to get too dark.

If you're camping, using a fire or charcoal: Pour mixture into a cast iron dutch oven. Cover with pie crust and cook over coals for about an hour. After an hour add extra coals to the top of your oven to get a golden crust.

Sorry, I don't have exact charcoal numbers. A good rule is to make sure the coals aren't actually touching the bottom of your oven. So if your oven doesn't have legs then hang it over the fire pit. Check your pie occasionally. If it's good an bubbly then you know it's cooking hot enough.

Cooking a pie at the campsite is such a treat. It doesn't really matter how perfect your crust looks or how juicy your pie is. When we made blackberry pie at our campsite the first night we were so full we even skipped s'mores! That means it was really, really, REALLY yummy!
