The Blackberry Pie Saga
My Tryst with the Pie
Once upon a time, in the heart of my tiny kitchen, armed with only a whisk and my unwavering determination, I decided to conquer the world… of pies! I had chosen my adversary wisely: the Blackberry Pie. A delightful combination of sugar, cornstarch, water, blackberry flavored gelatin, fresh blackberries, and a baked 9-inch pastry shell. Sounds simple, right? Well, folks, buckle up because we’re in for a wild ride!
The Sticky Situation
As per the sacred recipe, I had to combine 3/4 c. sugar, 2 1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch, and 1 c. water in a heavy saucepan and cook it over medium heat. Now, stirring constantly is the key here. Let me tell you, I felt like a Hogwarts student practicing a new spell. “Stirrius Constantus!” I muttered to myself, my wooden spoon a makeshift wand. The concoction in question thickened, much to my delight. I started to think maybe I was a wizard after all!
The Gelatin Jiggle
Next up, off the heat, it was time to add the 3 1/2 Tbsp. blackberry flavored gelatin. Stirring until it dissolved, I was reminded of the time I mixed up my laundry detergent with gelatin. Let’s just say my clothes were never the same again! The gelatin dissolved and my mixture had a beautiful, purple hue. Things were starting to look up!
The Berry Merry Dance
The moment had arrived to stir in the 4 c. fresh blackberries. As I gently mixed the berries into my concoction, I couldn’t help but do a little dance to the rhythm of the stir. My dog watched, probably judging my dance moves, but who cares when you’re making pie!
The Pie Hole Dilemma
Now, pouring the mixture into the pastry shell, I faced my worst nightmare: spilling the precious berry mix. But with the precision of a surgeon, I managed to transfer every drop into the shell. Take that, gravity!
The Waiting Game
The pie was now chilling in the fridge until firm. This was the longest hour of my life, I kid you not. I paced, I cleaned, I even tried to meditate! But all I could think of was my beautiful pie, chilling in the fridge like a rockstar.
The Sweet Victory
Finally, it was time to serve the pie. Now, I won’t lie, I was tempted to eat it all by myself, but the sweet smell of victory (and blackberries) was too good not to share. I served it with a dollop of Cool Whip, and it was, indeed, easy and so tasty. I mean, who knew that all those years of stirring my coffee would lead to this moment of glory!
The Pie Aftermath
And there I was, in the aftermath of the Blackberry Pie Saga, victorious and full. My kitchen looked like a battleground, sure, but it was worth it! I mean, who doesn’t want to be known as the ‘Pie Conqueror’! So, my friends, that’s the tale of my tryst with the Blackberry Pie. And as I sit here, with a satisfied belly and a pie-filled heart, I can’t help but wonder… what’s next on my pie conquest?
