Blackberry Individual Pies

I love gadgets! It's a chronic affliction that I have suffered enjoyed all my life. And the best medicine is a shopping trip to Williams-Sonoma. When I walk through their door, it's like I just entered heaven through the pearly gates. Trumpets sound majestically, and the beauty of all the shiny appliances artfully arranged, makes me stop for a second and just gawk. Such a spectacular I must be, drooling, laughing, and doing my happy dance.

It doesn't faze me the least that the other shoppers shy away from me just because I salivate allover the All-Clad pans. And I could care less if I frighten little children when I scream with delight at the new seasonal displays. I mean for gosh sakes the Nordic ware is always amazing.... who wouldn't cry out hysterically? 

But I really recommend that the President of the company order defibrillators for all the stores. And it would be great if all employees completed CPR classes. I suggest this because surely I'm not the only one to have swooned at the sight of the Star Wars Cookie Cutter set.

I could babble on and on. But I need a nap soon have important things to do. So let me present to you my newest purchase... Lattice Pocket Pie Mold.

1/2 cup blackberry jam

4. Cut out solid shapes and lattice tops.

5. Place a solid shape into the bottom half of the mold. Gently press dough into the mold. Add 2-3 tablespoons blackberries.
