First Blueberry Pie of the Season
10 years ago
Had to bake a pie quickly before Moe and Matt eat another 5 lb box of blueberries.
Baked this morning. Will serve with fresh whipped cream for dessert tonight.

Need a safe low sugar blueberry pie filling recipe
Comments (3)Yes, I even have some frozen blues my dad did many years ago. There is only one gallon bag of them left and they get maide into a blueberry cake. I make a muffin batter, add a LOT of frozen blues and the end result is just enough batter to hold all the berries together. They are still tasty even after bring frozen for many years. Hardly the same as fresh, but still usable. My last batch was blueberry preserves and I also added some dried blues that tend to hold up better to cooking. With acidic blues, I don't seem to get that 'off' taste that Splenda may offer. If the berries are bland, I usually add a bit of acid blend to them to punch up the taste. I do use Clear Jel as I don't like runny fillings in pies. Bulk Foods offer some FANTASTIC sugar free turtles, pecans, caramel, and chocolate, all sugar free. Also several other sugar free items....See MoreMy First Rhubarb Pie of the Season
Comments (5)Thanks Mom. I gave half it away to our neighbour so Moe and I wouldn't be tempted to eat it all. Jasdip, I just did an update on WFD. Didn't realize it had been that long since I posted. I don't think I have ever taken a sabbatical from cooking. Thanks Sleevendog. I'm looking forward to pictures. ~Ann...See MoreLocal Blueberries
Comments (17)Thank you all. It really was good. I took it next door and shared it with our neighbours. They are from a local blueberry farm so they are not wild. Lots of flavour though. Not sure how the price compares to Ontario or elsewhere, but these were on special for the last two days for $9.99 for a five pound box. $2.00 a pound is about the lowest price I've seen them for. I bought another box today. Ann...See MoreDo you put cinnamon in blueberry pie?
Comments (27)I've had wild blueberries and I've had cultivated blueberries. I've found that the local berries which I pick myself at the U-pick places taste delicious, and that flavor varies from variety to variety. I usually go from bush to bush tasting until I find the ones I like. The huge ones seem to have less flavor, usually. Grocery store berries are the bottom of the heap, usually, like the ones I have today which are from Washington. By the time they are picked, packaged, shipped and sold, they aren't optimal. The fresh, locally grown ones, just picked? Oh yeah, a different thing altogether. I haven't picked yet this year, I'd better get moving or it'll be too late! I have cinnamon for blueberry crisp, lemon for blueberry muffins, no spice at all for pancakes, pies or jam. It's all good. Annie...See More
10 years agoThank you. The pie was good. This year the blueberries are full of flavour. Not sure why , but last years crop wasn't nearly as good.
