Berry Pistachio Pie image

My grandmother used to make this pie when I was a small child. A Brooklyn woman gave her the recipe, but my grandmother could never remember the woman's name or the name of the pie, comically dubbing it Lady from Brooklyn's Pie. Feel free to use any flavored gelatin, or try walnuts or pecans instead of pistachios. I use a store-bought graham cracker crust, but you can also use a chocolate graham cracker crust. -Judy DeGrottole, New York, New York

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie crust turned out really tough. The filling was good, though.
