FILLING

Crust: Cut the shortening and margarine into the flour and add salt with a pastry blender until you don't see any more flour. Lift the mixture with you fingers and make sure all flour has been greased.

Sprinkle 3 or 4 Tablespoons full of cold water over mixture and lift with your fingers until it begins to form itself into clumps. When it feels right, form it into a ball. Roll out.

Filling:

Line a 9" pie pan with bottom crust. Pour blackberries into shell and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Using a small bowl, combine sugar and flour and pour over berries. Shake sugar mixture around to distribute evenly and cover with top crust. Flute edges. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes.
