Preparation

Step 1

Select ripe, juicy berries. Wash berries and drain well. Use the smaller or larger amount of sugar according to the sweetness of the fruit.
Line pie plate with one pie crust.

Mix together sugar and flour. Mix lightly through berries. Pour floured berries into pastry-lined pie pan. Dot with butter. Slit crust near centre to allow steam to escape. Seal edges thoroughly.
Bake at 425 F for 35-45 minutes or until crust is nicely browned and juices begin to bubble through slits in crust.
