Ingredients
- 6 ounces fresh or frozen blackberries (thawed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons blackberry wine
- 3-4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 box refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 egg
- coarse sugar
- YIELD: 10 pies
In a medium saucepan, combine the blackberries and sugar. Cook on medium-high until berries begin to give off their juices. Add the wine and cook 1 minute more. Add the cornstarch and cook while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand until completely cool.

Place 1 tablespoon blackberry filling on one side of each circle. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Using a pastry brush, apply the egg wash around edges of the circles (Image 1) and fold over so the edges meet and form half circles. Use a pie press (Image 2), or crimp the edges of the pie with tines of a fork to seal.
