    I had a variation of this which Myra made which was a blackberry chess pie. Admittedly a tad of an "odd seeming combo" and she didn't too much, but I liked it and so did other dinner companion (with fresh whipped cream). We were bad girls and even had seconds. This was made with a wonderful butter crust that was to die for. Nice going!

      I liked the crust, too (Edible Seattle's All-Butter Crust).
