The blackberry pie was famous in these parts, but not for the reasons folks let on. Granny’s secret wasn’t just in the ripe fruit or the perfectly flaky crust—no, it was the bottle she kept hidden on the high shelf, just out of reach. A splash of something dark, potent, and forbidden went into every pie. But no one dared ask, not after old Mr. McCravey got a little too curious and couldn’t quite remember how he ended up under the Black Walnut tree at midnight, a slice of blackberry pie still warm in his hand. Cornbread and Buttermilk couldn’t help but wonder—was it the recipe or the rum that made Granny’s pie so intoxicating?
