Paula Deen's Lattice-Top Blackberry Pie

Here is the recipe for Paula Deen's Lattice-Top Blackberry Pie. I kind of chuckled when I saw this recipe in Food Network magazine, because it is essentially my mother-in-law's recipe, and she is known for her amazing blackberry pies she makes from blackberries she picks herself. My mother-in-law doesn't use the lemon juice or lemon zest (which personally I think would make the pie too tart, so I don't use them either). She also varies the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of the berries. She doesn't do the lattice-top crust but simply cuts slits in the top pie crust. I always bake my pies on a foil-lined cookie sheet just in case of any spill over.
