yummy blueberry pie

I’m not a person who eats dessert, but every now and then there is this urge to splurge.  This blueberry pie recipe was given to me recently by my friend, real estate agent, local celebrity Mother of the Mayor, Linda.  Well I knew that I had to try it right away.

browned blueberry pie

Having never, and I mean never, baked a pie or made a crust, I think this turned out rather well.   My daughter Amy is the primo pie baker of the family, so I contacted her to get her crust recipe.  She always makes crusts that are flaky and delicious.  She explained to me her technique of cutting cold butter into the flour, then adding ice cold water to form a dough.  I learned rather quickly that making a good crust is kind of an art form.  To get really good at it, takes practice and experience.  After I made my dough, I Googled pie crust and came across a very detailed, excellent step by step description for making good crust.  Kudos to these folks for the fine work!  Check out inspiredtaste. net for their crust making tutorial.  They explain both mixing the dough by hand or with a food processor.  Even if you are an old hand at making crusts, this post by Adam and Joanne is worth a look.

blueberry pie filling

Linda’s blueberry pie filling recipe is really good, with just the right amount of sweetness combined with just a hint of tartness from the lemon zest and juice.  The pectin from the grated Granny Smith apple adds a little thickening to the pie.
