Blueberry-Haskap Berry Pie

By á-178807

We planted 3 small Haskap berry bushes last year. They are fairly new and belong to the honeysuckle family. This year they produced enough to do something with. I decided to try incorporating them into a family favorite, blueberry pie. The result was absolutely delicious! My family declared it "better than blueberry pie"!! :)

Ingredients

• Pastry for 9 inch double crust pie, your own or premade
• 1 1/2 cups fresh Haskap berries
• 3 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Gently fold in sugar mixture til berries are covered. Pile into pie shell. Sprinkle lemon juice over top and dot filling with the butter or margarine. Put top crust on, seal and flute. Make steam vents in centre of top crust. Cover edges of pastry with foil til last 10 minutes of baking if desired to prevent excessive browning.
