Mimay Pie


Mimay Pie..... Somewhere in this fertile island of Negros way up within the lush mountains, we found wild berries scattered on the moss-covered pathway of the forest. While gathering these guaranteed organic, tiny, squishy, succulent fruit, I thought of our summer vacations at my Lola's where we could just walk around her backyard and pick all kinds of fruits and flowers for FREE. Depending on the season, it could be mangoes and star apples during the summer or guavas, chicos, santol or langka during the rainy months. It's actually the act of finding and picking these tiny berries that gets me all excited since everything seems to cost something nowadays.
They say these fruits contain anti-oxidants called anthocyanins. Check out this website http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com to find out more.

Out of these luscious fruit cousin Mimay made this simple pie no bakeshop can offer. This is real eating... fresh and fast.

These look like blackberries that usually grow wild. They're thorny bushes that bear fruit around this time of the year (summer)

For me consuming pure mimay pie with blackberries is an awesome experience. It made me wonder if I added coconut oil for garnishing, what would be the effect?

I agree that these look like blackberries, but look at the stems. They look like cherry stems. I'm wondering if this is some cousin to the blackberry.

I'd love to know what type of mixture the berries are in for the filling of the pie.
