To make the sour cream custard:  Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Whisk together the sour cream, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

Pour into pie crust and bake 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature.

 

To make the berries:  In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.

Reduce heat to low and add the berries.

Cook gently for 5 minutes until the berries soften and exude some juice.

Boil for about 1 minute, until thickened.

Cool.

Spoon the berries over the custard.  Refrigerate before serving.
