Blackberry Pie

This is Ian's favorite kind of pie.

Pastry:
1/2 cup margarine
1/3 cup shortening
2 scant cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup cold water

Directions: Blend shortening, margarine, flour and salt. Once it is well blended add water, mix until it forms a ball, using your hands for this part works best. (Depending on the size of your pie this amount will make 2 or 4 pies.) Cut into equal parts and roll out.

Pie Filling:
4 (generous) cups of fresh blackberries
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Directions: Preheat oven to 400*. Wash blackberries and allow water to drain. In a large bowl mix berries and lemon juice. In a small bowl mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour sugar mixture over berries and stir all together coating berries. Pour berries into pie shell and cover with remaining rolled out pastry. Cut some sort of holes in top of shell for heat to escape. Bake until pastry is golden brown, about 25 minutes.
