 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 3/4  cups          Unsifted all-purpose flour
      2/3  cup           Vegetable shortening
    1      cup           Sugar
                         Dash salt
      1/2  teaspoon      Salt
      1/3  cup           Cold water
      1/4  cup           All-purpose flour
    4      cups          Washed fresh blackberries
 
 Sift together flour and salt in a mixing bowl.Cut in shortening with a pastry
blender until mixture resembles large coarse crumbs. Sprinkle water over flour
mixture,using a fork to stir it in gently to make it gather into a ball (the less
water the better ~ just enough to hold it together).Turn out onto a lightly
floured board and shape with your hands into two balls,one slightly larger than
the other.Chill dough for 1 hour,then roll out large ball to fit the bottom of a
9 or 10″ pie dish.Now,mix sugar and all-purpose flour in a separate bowl,then add
a dash of salt and stir in berries.Pour mixture into the empty pie shell,then
roll out remaining ball of dough to make top crust.Crimp and trim edges,then
slash the top crust in several places.Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 25
to 30 minutes or until golden brown.Makes 1 - 10″ pie.
