Fantastic!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My son picked out this recipe and so after reading the reviews we made this over the weekend. The results were fantastic!! ... We did use 4 Tbsp of the corn starch and if you follow the recipe you will get a filling that is thick and not runny. Remember when using corn starch it has a be boiled for 1 min. to get to it's thicking potencial. Very important step!! I have made a crust that was simalar to this one but really liked this one better. You will need to made more crust to have enough for the decorations. Also we have frozen blueberries left over from this summer and we thrawed them -they worked great-fresh berries right now are 3 times more expensive and you only get 1/2 pint or less. We used about 4 cups instead of 3. This is a keeper --thanks for the recipe. Our family will use this for years!!Read more

Great pie!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The crust especially was wonderful. For the filling, I used potato starch which is a little stronger than corn starch - two... tablespoons is plenty. I used equal amounts of margarine instead of shortening. I've made it twice now and it came out great both times!Read more

Rated: 4 stars out of 5

First time I ever made pie crust with eggs and vinegar. It was good, great flavor, agree with the person who suggest double... the cornstarch... I didn't and mine was a little thin leaked a bit once cut, overall thought it was good and my family liked it. I would make again.Read more

Great
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was easy and really really delicious. My family is a bunch of foodies and everyone loved it. My brother doesn't even... like blueberries but he could not resist gushing over this pie. He compared it to Delicious Orchards pies from New Jersey which are great!Read more
