Fresh picked blueberries, depending on where you live, are typically available throughout the last few weeks of summer.
Ever been blueberry picking?
If you've never been, then you've gotta add this to your bucket list! Grab a hat and head to your nearest blueberry farm. Pick blueberries until your heart's content, no one minds if you sample a few as you pick, then come back to this super easy recipe.
How to Pick the Best Blueberries for Pie
Blueberry fields are typically marked so that you could choose between sweet or tart berries and you can sample as you go if you're not sure.
The tart blueberries are the BEST for making pies. Because they combine with the sugar to create a bright and delicious flavor that isn't too sweet or flat tasting.
Fresh blueberries are surprisingly affordable!
I was pleasantly surprised to find our whole blueberry excursion only cost about $6!
So pick a bunch! Try making blueberry pancakes, blueberry muffins, blueberry pop tarts, and of course you have to try this blueberry pie.
You could go traditional and top your blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream but I actually really like to use a dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt. I also sometimes a mint leaf because a little green makes everything look fresh and pretty.
Storing Leftovers
Refrigerator: This pie will keep on the counter for about 2 days. You can also store it longer in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezer: This pie can be frozen for up to 4 months.
Yes, you can make blueberry pie and then freeze it before you cook it.
When you're ready to bake it: let it warm up in the oven as the oven preheats. You may need to add 5-10 minutes additional cook time to account for it defrosting. It's done when the filling it bubbling and the crust is golden brown. Cover loosely with foil as needed to prevent crust from over browning.
Double Crust Options
Puff pastry can be expensive, so you can use a regular pie crust for the bottom, puff pastry for the top.
An easy way to make your pie pretty.
If you get lazy from time to time like I do, and you don't care to take the time to perfectly crimp the edges of your pie, here's an easy solution.
Get a fluted pie pan.
The edges of the pan itself are fluted (scalloped) and so it makes the pie look way fancier without having to do any actual work yourself. Genius? I think so!
Just press the crust into the pan and use the edge of the pan to cut to size.
