Best Blueberry Pie Recipe
About 20 years ago I had a slice of blueberry pie in a Maine restaurant that was out of this world. Years later when I was back in that part of the country I discovered a blueberry cookbook that had a recipe that sounded somewhat similar to what I ... More

This sounds good Debra......Will be glad when my blueberry bushes get big enough to produce enough to make this pie...:)


Hi! I love blueberries but they are quite expensive here. As a result we have gotten a blueberry plant which I have in a pot. The soil isn't sandy enough here so that is the reason we got it potted. I am sure you will love this pie.


My daughter had a store brought blueberry pie for the first time last week. She has been begging me to make a blueberry pie ever since. I have never made one but will try this recipe! Im very good at pie crusts!~M


I'm using the blueberries I bought on sale to make this. I'll make the filling ahead and then bake it this coming weekend.


I made this pie filling last night to bake the pie today and it's delicious. Great post.


I'm going to try this for New Recipe Tuesday this coming week. Curious about how it would be with a top crust.

Also, I have to use frozen blueberries. Any sugestions on any alterations. I just can't afford fresh blueberries--not four cups of them.


Excellant Deb. When is the next one coming along!!!!


Please disregard the anonymous rating that I received from someone who either didn't make it correctly or didn't bother making it at all. If the recipe was so lousy the person should have commented on my page or sent me a note.


HI Debra :) Just noticed that rating....how could ANYONE give a low rating on a homemade blueberry pie??? It just isn't fathomable :) [BUMP].
I laughed at your comment about blueberries 'over there'...to this day my husband won't admit that he likes them, cause "any food that is blue in colour can't be good for you"...or so he says :)


BTW, good luck with the blueberry plant :)


We have a blueberry farm near us and so far this summer I've picked over 20 pounds! (at $1.00 a lb. not bad!)
They are fabulous, so I'm getting ready to make blueberry pie and blueberry Jam! I already started a batch of blueberry brandy. Made with regular brandy, smushed blueberries, time... then add sugar etc. Will be ready in about 5 months but well worth the wait!
But for now, it's time to go make my blueberry pie! Thanks for the receipe!


This sounds great. I love blueberries and will try this some time.
