This is my keeper recipe for blueberry pie!

I did have to make some adjustments for my taste as well as to firm up the filling. Luckily past reviews helped me adjust accordingly. I used 5 tbsp cornstarch rather than two. It is so important to let the sugar and cornstarch mixture thicken when you cook it. I use a spoon to test. If it coats the back of a spoon without dripping, it's good enough. I also changed mine up by adding the zest of one lemon rather than lemon juice to get a more intense lemony flavor. I think that lemon and blueberry marry nicely! I also vary the top of the pie. A crumble topping tastes delicious and looks tasty.

If you like lemon flavor, make a lemon whipped cream to top your pie. I make mine with 1/2 tsp lemon extract, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 sugar, zest of one lemon and a small carton of whipping cream. Whip it all together to a beautiful fluff. YUM!

Awful! I guess I missed something because mine came out very watery. Followed the recipe exactly.

This is a great recipe!!! I've used it several times. I usually cut pie dough to fit in a muffin pan, and use 1c huckleberries,and 2 frozen berry blend. Top with an oatmeal crumble. SMASH hit!!! The family loves it!! everyone gets their own pie(s.

Outstanding ... Easy to follow and delicious. Would recommend this recipe to my family and friends. I did change the amount of berries from 3 cups to 4 and the cornstarch from 2 TBSP to 4. Left the sugar the same and it came out perfect.

I only made the filling from this recipe-excellent! However the directions show adding lemon juice twice. So where exactly in the recipe should it be added? I first poured the blueberry sugar mixture into crust, then drizzled the lemon juice on top. I think adding it to the sugar mixture with the blueberries thins it out a bit. I also made this a day before serving and kept in the fridge after it cooled and it gelled perfectly, not runny at all. You have to make sure your sugar/cornstarch mixture thickens before you let it cool, like a gravy. I measured everything exactly not a drop more or less of anything. I did have to bake it for an extra 10 minutes to brown up the crust more.

Outstanding recipe. Despite my lack of baking skills, my first attempt to make this pie has been nothing but great compliments from my family and friends that tasted it, knowing that I don't bake. Easy to follow and absolutely delicious!!! I personally love the crust. perfect flakes. I did cut down on the sugar a little. Came out perfect to our taste. Definitely worth trying.

This is a pie that one would want to make early in the morning to serve for dinner. This pie needs to cool and settle before being cut. I followed the recipe exactly, except for the cornstarch. I added five TBSP. and the pie cut easily, did not fall apart and was not at all soupy. I used frozen berries and was pleased with the flavor and texture. This is a much better recipe than the one I used to use in that it did not become a soupy mess. I will make this pie often, with frozen or fresh blueberries. I also, by the way, added a pat of butter on top, since that is how I have always finished off my fruit pies. Do try this recipe; you will not be sorry.

I have made a number of blueberry pies, always looking for my "keeper" recipe. Too much of this, not enough of that and mainly consistency inconsistent. This recipe had great flavor using less sugar then alot the recipes out there. It makes sense too, you make the "glue" first then add the fruit. It is always my habit to try recipe as it reads 1st, which I did. Next time I will try some of the other suggestions for more berries and cstarch.

My kids and I went blueberry picking today - this recipe is AMAZING! I used a different pie dough - no vinegar in my recipe. Will make this recipe again and again - thanks!

Ok, something's wrong here. My pie was like blueberry soup! I incrased the blueberries to 5 cups, the sugar to 1 1/2 cups and the corn starch to 6 tablespoons and the filling was so soupy the bottom crust disappeared. What did I do wrong???
