Blackberry Pie for Hallowe'en? EHAG Emporium.

  HAPPY HALLOWE'EN!  

Jake loves blackberries, plain and simple. Close to his home is a large field of wild blackberries. Once they start to ripen in the hot lazy days in August he is out first thing in the morning picking blackberries. The blackberries are frozen whole for pies, turned into jam, as well as used in his very popular blackberry liqueur.

Every Hallowe'en Jake brings a blackberry pie to the party, it has a splash of his blackberry liqueur in the filling.

"Who says Hallowe'en is just for pumpkin pie!", laughs Jake, "Have a slice of my blackberry pie. It's really very excellent, if I may say so myself."

"I've eaten more than one slice of his blackberry pie and to quote Jake, "It really is very excellent."
