  • “Excellant blueberry pie Steve!!!I used a bought pie shell (lazy),so didn’t bother with the egg white. Very quick and easy filling, we’re trying to use up our berries in the freezer before the new ones come along, this was a great way to do it. Served it with whipped cream as instructed, it was sumptuous!! Thanks for a keeper, I may try some of our other berries next time.”

  • “Fresh, light, simple and DELICIOUS! I added a touch of rum flavoring to the fresh whipped cream.My dinner guests all asked for seconds…and the recipe!”

  • “Excellent recipe! I liked the fact that not all of the berries were cooked. So fresh tasting! I used a pre-made graham cracker crust shell, so I skipped the part about the egg white. I will make this again and again. Thanks for sharing the recipe.”

  • “so yummy and easy, especially when you use a ready made granola crust… 🙂 i did make some whipped cream to top it off, though.”

  • “I’ve made 2 of these in as many days! Need I say more? DIVINE! The fresh blueberry flavor is fantastic. SSOOO much better than the fresh fruit pies that use jello as their base. I used Recipe #13619 for the pie crust and baked it according to the directions on that recipe. I used the egg white wash, but I’m not sure it made any difference. I did find that the filling sets up better if you cook it for about 5 minutes after adding the corn starch and if you refrigerate it. Thanks so much for sharing this excellent recipe! I know there are going to be many more blueberry pies in our future!”

  • “My favorite blueberry pie!I added a little sugar to a beaten egg and brushed the crust before I baked it. Perfect summer pie.”

  • “Delicious!Just what I was looking for!Many thanks.”

  • “Excellent recipe, and easy to make! I used all organic ingredients. Frozen pie crust worked fine, but got too brown in 20 minutes. I also substituted an organic, zero calorie sweetener (sugar substitute) but had to increase the amount by 25%. Got the perfect amount of sweetness in the pie! Egg white not necessary. Enjoyed making as well as eating it!”

  • “I would give this as many stars as I could!I’ve made this to many times to count.I make this with a graham crust because I like unbaked fruit pies that way.I also use the lemon out of a bottle.I will say that the number of servings are different for my family.It’s been known to only serve 3!And one of those is a child eating her fair share!This also makes a great breakfast if there is any left over.”

  • “out if this world taste and easy to prepare. i used frozen pie crust and store bought lemon juice. i should have made two because it didn’t make it throught the night at out house 🙂 thank you so much!!”

  • “A keeper! I made this with Mean Chef’s Pie Crust recipe for Thanksgiving. It was a real hit–lots of hearty blueberry flavor! (I used frozen blueberries, and no problems!) Thanks for posting!”

  • “Oh, my gosh this was good!I used Laurie’s My No Roll Pie Crust (#51537) and it was the easiest pie I ever made.In the summer when we pick berries, sometimes a cooked blueberry pie is just too heavy.This one is light and so full of blueberry flavor!YUM!!!”

  • “I know I must be weird, but I didn’t find this recipe “special”.I wish I had tried another one, but I thought with such high ratings this would be good….I felt it was bland tasting-didn’t have any punch!”

  • “This has become my favorite pie of all time. Every year after picking fresh blueberries I make this pie.It is heavenly.”

  • “5 thousand stars.I got a whole spelt frozen crust from the health food store which was remarkably good.And since blueberries can be so pricey, 1 cup of mine were frozen.I’ll see if I can get away with even more in the future.I loved it as is and planned to serve the slices with a scoop of pistachio ice cream on the side, but my hubby suggested topping it with fresh whipped cream – it was a success although it doesn’t need much!The beauty is in the simplicity and natural taste of the blueberries.(ps – I made this with strawberries, using less sugar and also got rave reviews).”

  • “Great pie, especially since it’s so easy to make. I found it delicious, and so did my guests, but I was a little disappointed to have leftovers when I was told I wouldn’t have to worry about leftovers, but then I guess that’s what happens when you stuff your guests before dessert! Thanks for this handy recipe!”

  • “Great pie. When we finished it my family asked me to make another one.”

  • “This was the BEST blueberry pie I have EVER tasted!I also used a storebought piecrust, since I hate to make piecrust. My family just couldn’t wait the whole 2 hours for it to cool off, so we waited about 1, and it was absolutely delicious warm!!Thanks a bunch!”

  • “Not only was this one of the easiest pies to make, it tasted great!I used frozen blueberries as well with no problems! :)”

  • “Hey There-I used Blackberries for this recipe-it turned out Fantastic!I also used a cast iron skillet and turned the crust over top to make a rustic pie-everyone raved!Thanks for posting.”
