Whoops - I totally meant to post photos of that second elderberry 
pie I made, and forgot! Here’s a closeup… I heartily recommend adding the tapioca instead of just using flour, which is what I did in that first pie that ended up so runny. The tapioca held it together much better, added a touch of sweetness and helped to even out the gritty texture of the elderberry seeds. The recipe I used for this one was the one listed as "Grandmothers’ favorite" in the pie recipes.

I have made elderberry pie for years. Use Betty Crocker’s berry pie recipe. Like the addition of cinnamin to it. Will try with tapioca. Just picked them last night.

That is a gorgeous pie!! You inspired me to make an elderberry pie, too! Just took it out of the oven. Hope it turns out as nice as yours.
