Grilled Wild Black Raspberry Pie

This one stretches the definition of "pie" considerably. But, it is made from a pizza crust, it doesn't fit other categories well, and I, the pie maker, made it. More importantly, it's extremely tasty.

It started when I had one more pizza crust than toppings while making grilled pizzas last night (incidentally, if you have vegetarians at a BBQ, this is the way to go. Also, great way to make pizza during the summer without heating up the house). I also happened to have more wild black raspberries than I know what to do with, and a bit of brown sugar.

Ingredients:

on the grill:
1 roughly fist sized ball of pizza dough
1 cup wild black raspberries (other berries should work)
2-3T brown sugar

after grilling:
1T butter, melted
~1T powdered sugar for sprinkling
2 scoops ice cream

Procedure:

Let the grill cool a bit after grilling the pizza, so that you can hold a hand over the coals for about 7s. A good way to do this is enjoy the grilled pizzas and a tall beverage while the grill is covered.

Carefully mix the berries and sugar in a bowl.

Stretch the dough ball into a rough circle 12" across (probably best to use a rolling pin)

Place the berry mix in the middle, fold up the crust around it, and place on the grill. Cover, let sit about 5min, and roll onto the opposite side, wait 5min or so, and then cook the remaining two sides.

Place the baked pie-tube on a plate, pour and smear the melted butter over the top. Sprinkle with powered sugar. Serve immediately with two scoops of ice cream and two spoons or forks.

My family used to make those when we went camping. We made em on the camp fire. (My dad always called them hobo pockets)
