To serve:

We are picking blackberries from several meters high bushes in the hills above Nottingham with a view of Wollaton Park. For standing still we only have time when the bucket becomes too heavy to carry. A gentleman, also frantically busy, calls to us: ‘That will be Blackberry and apple pie tonight’. We had to look this up. For this  pie you need juicy blackberries, which can be picked only to the end of summer. It has an upper crust that seems to float above the fruit. That we learned from the famous gardener Christopher Lloyd in his book Gardener Cook. The recipe below is made following his instructions. It has to be baked in a real pie-dish with a flat rim. Such a vessel you cannot obtain everywhere. In that case you can use the trick mentioned in the recipe below.
