Who doesn’t love blackberry pie? Well, it’s blackberry season and I’ve got blackberries everywhere! At the beginning of the season I always start with a blackberry pie. Sometimes I throw in some fresh raspberries too.
To be honest there is nothing really special about this recipe, ONLY that I’ve added a splash of VanillaPura’s Tongan Rum vanilla extract, enhancing the berry flavor with fruity undertones and vanilla. Try it with your favorite fruity pie recipes, you’ll taste the difference!
