Many recipes call for too much fruit. The pie should be slightly convex when you put it in the oven. Don't try and force all the berries into the the pie, if they don't fit don't worry.

Taste the berries and reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup or less if they are very sweet.

4 tablespoons of tapioca will cause the pie to set up very firm, no juices. If you like a juicy pie, use less.
