My review
Elderberry Pie II
Esther Kenagy
"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."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- 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.

Oh My-Took forever to clean the tiny tiny berries. Cooked them and it looked fine. I don't know what goes on in the baking process but when I was done it was crunchy-not good. NOT a do-over

Great pie! I love elderberries and found that the easiest way to clean/ de-stem the berries is to freeze them first. Then they practically fall off the stems. Super easy!
