I just made this tonight and it was amazing! Blackberries were $.97 for six ounces (which is a good price for here) so I jumped at the chance to make this. I actually quartered the recipe and baked it in a 9X9 and it worked out perfectly. The crust wasn’t too thick or too thin. I think I’m going to make it for a church activity but this time I will use the whole recipe and make it in a jelly roll pan because I know everyone will love it. Thanks for the recipe!

I made these last month with some fresh blackberries and they were a-mazing! Everyone raved! Just my luck- I have 2 quarts of frozen blackberries in my freezer for the fall Thanks….

Hello Joy,

LOVE your blog! Last night I made the Blackberry Pie Bars, and they turned out great! Do you think these would freeze well?? I want to save some for my honey who is returning home the end of the week.

Thx =9)

These were great. Next time I’ll use a jelly roll pan like you did. I had to add to the baking time for the smaller pan (especially for prebaking the crust) and the whole thing was thicker than I would have wanted – however, they are delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

These were great Joy, the whole family loved it. I made half the recipe since I didn’t have quite that much fresh blackberry, and they were gone by the next morning

@Lissi – I just made these the other night and used a x1 pan. It almost looks like you’re going to run out of room, but have faith! Nothing spills over!

I made the mistake of over mixing the dough I think- it was definitely in solid dough form rather than crumbles. I’m not sure if that, or maybe the dough was too warm, when I put it into the oven for the first baking pass, because the bottom of these things is HARD. Like might break a filling hard, erf. The blackberries are delicious in it and the lemon sugar is great in the crust, just don’t overmix!

It is a little difficult to source fresh/frozen blackberries here in New Zealand and instead of replacing with boysenberries or the like I used canned blackberries. Delicious…and I was also pleasantly surprised how much the recipe made (a good number of midnight snacks!)
