Elderberry Pie II image

This is my favorite fruit pie of all. Wish I could find the berries in our area. Tapioca can be used in place of cornstarch if desired.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
4 cups elderberries
1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Mix cornstarch in a little bit of water and add to berries and sugar. Cook, stirring constantly until desired thickness. Add more cornstarch if not thick enough. Add lemon juice.
  • Pour into bottom crust. Dot with butter. Put on top crust or make a lattice.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until browned and berries are bubbling through holes in the crust, approximately 40 minutes.
  • Note: It is a good idea to put a pan or foil under the pie as it bakes since it might bubble over.
