This is the BEST blueberry pie recipe! I used to have blueberry bushes and could have fresh berries available and freeze them, also. My recipe then was with tapioca. Now I only use frozen berries and pre-cooking the blueberries with cornstarch gives more consistent results. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE this recipe! Thank you!

I made this recipe and it is definitely a keeper! Finally, I have a way to make pie with my frozen blueberries without wondering if they’re too congealed or too runny. The 5 tablespoons of cornstarch was not overkill as a commenter wrote. The cooled pie was not too stiff and not runny. I will say, that the butter crust, while good, is not better than a lard crust and a lard crust is easier to make. Also, I don’t have one acquaintance or family member that will bother to make a handmade pie crust which is why I break the rules when I make mine. It’s tasty, flaky, and a whole lot easier the way I do it. In case you’re interested, I never use ice water, and I never measure the amount of water because I go way over what’s called for. After cutting in the lard/butter, I toss with a fork with my right hand and toss with my left hand in the mix till it has the look and the feel I’m going for. I sprinkle with water and toss till it looks like shreds and has no loose flour left. Next, I lightly make two balls handling no more than necessary. Flour the counter well and roll out mostly holding my rolling pin as if it’s a clock hand gently rolling back and forth around the edges. I don’t like split edges and I want it round. Next I sweep the excess flour away with a silicone brush and fold my crust in half , then quarters with the aid of a small dough scraper. So much easier than all the online methods and it’s flaky. I increased my recipe a little more than this one calls for because I like a generous amount of crust. Anyway, thanks for the great recipe. I will be making this filling from now on. Oh, I may add some extra lemon and the zest to my filling. Sooo good! PS: if you’re not making a butter crust, add another half teaspoon or so of salt to your flour.

hi Muriel Strong,
Either you use fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries.. you will need cornstarch to thicken the pie filling… just the amount of the cornstarch can be slightly changed depends on how much liquid you get from blueberries while you are cooking them…
