The pie looks delicious. Blueberry was my first pie as a newlywed. My crust was so tough, you needed a chisel to get it out of the pie plate. My new husband laughed and I cried. I’m not so sensitive now, after 46 years.
PS Can I use Trader Joe’s frozen wild blueberries?
I don’t think anyone carries frozen Maine blueberries here in the mountains of California. There’s no Raley’s or Trader Joe’s up here. Just Safeway and Walmart. So frozen it is. I make my own crust as well and it’s delicious and flaky. Payday (SS) is Friday so that might be my next project. Made a killer peach pie a few weeks ago. Fresh peaches and my secret ingredient. 😉
I’ll have to try the crust recipe. Tried many recipes over the years and then I found Marie Calendar’s frozen crust. It’s totally cheating but darn good when you need to throw a pie together.
I am anxious to try this. We live in PA, have a lakehouse outside of Houlton, Maine - a gem of a town at the southern end of Aroostook County. We have developed close friendships with a group there, meeting at the co-op most days. I always wanted to bake a blueberry pie. Your recipe will the one I use. I use a KAF pie crust.
Thank you for your insights and the work that you do and share.
As a child I lived in Connecticut. Our neighbor also had a farm in Maine with fields of blueberries. We visited their farm while we vacationed in Maine. We raked the berries off the bushes. When we got home to the cabin, a one room camp with water we needed to pump at the well, mom made blueberry pancakes for dinner with butter and real maple syrup. I’m turning 70 this year, and I was maybe 10 then. I have never had better blueberry pancakes-my silver box dinner! Thanks for once again reminding me of that day.
The single grated Granny Smith apple sounds like a stroke of brilliance. I will find out soon!
It really does the trick! Hope you enjoy!
Thanks so much for the recipe and the background info on wild blueberries in Maine!
Thank you!

Sounds like my first few pies! Yes, use whichever blueberries you prefer.
Thank you for shining a light on Maine.

The secret ingredient is peach brandy.

Oh yes, Marie has saved many a day for me, too.

We had it last night. It was delicious.

Hi Slade, when you bake the pie are you putting it on a top, middle, or bottom rack? Thanks!
