This is a nice pie to make for a church group (make a couple more batches for more pies)a scout meeting or school-PTA meeting, etc. It is very good, and not too expensive or overly time consuming. My family loves these as well. Note: I am estimating the cook and prep. time...I really don't know. Read through the recipe and guess from your own experience. The time consumers are pastry shells (if you are making your own),preparation of the berries, and cooking the custard.
