- 2 containers (6 ounces each) fresh blackberries
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- (makes 4 cups)
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Prick the bottom of the pie shell all over with a fork.
- Line with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights.
- Bake until the edges are lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and weights, and bake until the crust is lightly browned, about 10 minutes more.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Reduce the oven heat to 350F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, butter, egg yolks, and vanilla.
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and salt.
- Whisk into the dry ingredients.
- Pass through a fine sieve into a clean bowl.
- Whisk in the lemon zest.
- Pour the mixture into the pie shell; bake until the center is just set, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
- Let cool, and then refrigerate at least 4 hours.
- Serve cold with berry sauce.
- Pulse the flour and salt in a food processor to combine.
- Add the butter, and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds.
- With the machine running, add the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, and process just until the dough holds together, no more than 30 seconds.
- Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface.
- Flatten the dough into a disk; wrap in plastic.
- Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Spread the crumbs on a clean work surface.
- Roll out the dough on top of the crumbs, coating both sides, into a 14-inch round about 1/8 inch thick.
- Gently fit the dough into a 10 x 2-inch (1 1/2 quart) pie plate, and crimp the edges as desired.
- Refrigerate the shell at least 30 minutes before baking.
- In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, stir together the sugar, lemon juice, and half the blueberries and blackberries.
- Bring just to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer until the blueberries burst and release their juices, about 3 minutes.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 teaspoon cold water.
- Stir into the sauce.
- Simmer, stirring, about 1 minute more, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove from the heat; stir in the remaining berries.
- Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl.
