Pi Day Black Strawberry Pie with Custard

To acknowledge the number Pi - 3.14159 etc - on this fine fourteenth of March, I visited a little bit of spring and summer with organic strawberries and blackberries.

I was considering all manner of enjoyable creams and milky toppings for the pie, as mentioned in the previous post http://edibleartform.blogspot.com/2012/03/black-and-blue-cobbler.html, and remembered custard.

(Full recipe available upon request):
Berries are vivid, textured, and flavorful. Consequently, there is absolutely no use in mucking up the mix with various canned goop or even spices and sugars. I like to let the fruit feature, so the only thing added was a sprinkling of lemon juice, a small drop of (real) maple syrup, and arrowroot, to help absorb the water in the cooking process.
