Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh marionberries
- ¾ cup white sugar

- 2 teaspoons water, or as needed
- 2 teaspoons sugar, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Mix marionberries, 3/4 cup sugar, flour, and lemon juice together in a large bowl until well-combined.
- Fit the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate with 1 pie crust. Pour in marionberry mixture. Cover with second crust; crimp edges to seal. Brush pie lightly with water. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons sugar on top. Cut four to eight 1-inch slits in the top crust with a knife.

Reviews
This turned out beautifully. It did take a lot longer to get the crust nicely browned. I wonder if doing an egg wash on the crust would help. I think I will t4y that next time . We grow our own Marionberries, so I am always looking for more ways to use them.
Love making this recipe every berry season
I made the crust from scratch and followed the rest of the recipe as. It was so delicious. Everyone loved it, even our 3 year old guest eating pie for her first time.
Great recipe. I did find that I like making two smaller pies with this recipe instead of one big one. Definitely a keeper!
I will add cornstarch or tapioca to the filling to make it firmer. Otherwise a very good tasting pie. I used the butter pie crust, which always turns fantastic.
Family loved it. Especially my VERY picky husband!!
I like a stiff pie filling so I added 7 tablespoons of flour instead of 6 I also cut the sugar to 1/2 cup. I also added 1/4 tsp almond extract just enough to be a mysterious ingredient that keep some people wondering what is that last flavor? Works for me. I made it with fresh, hand picked, ripe Puget Sound Black Berries. My wife and our son love it. Craig
My husband loves this! I am so happy I made it I think the one thing I would do is add some corn startch to the mix. Love Oregon marionberrys I am so happy to have a great recipe for a pie.
