Northwest Marionberry Pie is a classic Pacific Northwest dessert that is enjoyed during the summer months when marionberry bushes are bursting with fruit. These juicy, blackberries are a hybrid of two other types of berries, making them a unique and flavorful addition to any recipe. In this recipe, fresh marionberries are combined with sugar and flour to create a delicious and fruity filling for a flaky pie crust. This pie is perfect for serving at summer barbecues or for enjoying with a cup of coffee on a lazy afternoon.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2.	In a large bowl, combine the marionberries, sugar, flour, and lemon juice, stirring until the filling is well combined.
3.	Roll out one half of the pastry to fit a 9-inch pie plate, and place the prepared crust into the plate.
4.	Pour the marionberry filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly.
5.	Lightly dampen the edges of the bottom crust, and roll out the remaining pastry to fit the top of the pie. Place the top crust over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal.
6.	Brush the top crust with a tablespoon of water and sprinkle with sugar.
7.	Cut several vent holes in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
8.	Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
