I have never had blueberry pie, but if you ever manage to have enough blueberries to make one, I highly recommend it. This one took 4 cups of fresh blueberries, straight into the pie dish. You have to let it cool for an hour after cooking so the juice can thicken. I made the most awful pastry ever, but everyone was very kind about the 'rustic' look...(ie, husband and two children under 5 - hardly a critical audience). It is a very rich pie. One slice per sitting is enough!
It is a lovely taste of auld times to be able to pick the blueberries and make pie!
Well done! Grandmas hint with pastry is keep everything cool when making it.In fact she would put ice in the bowl for a little while before she began to mix. This daughter hardly ever makes pastry.
