Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine marionberries, blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly.

  4. Dot the top of the filling with small pieces of butter.
  5. If using a top crust, place it over the filling and crimp the edges to seal. Brush the top with an egg wash if desired.
Baking

  2. Allow your pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes
