For my big 50th birthday, my husband Steve wanted to buy a blueberry pie, my absolutely favorite dessert.  He called over 7 bakeries and grocery stores in the San Francisco Bay Area but couldn't find any store that sold blueberry pie in early November. As a result, I told him that Caroline and I would bake my own pie.

Caroline and I used a pie recipe from a pie chart that my mother kept with her recipes.  I would not recommend my mother's recipe. The pie was very runny and needed other ingredients (such as flour)  to thicken it.  Despite its problems, the pie tasted great.  We used frozen blueberries as opposed to fresh blueberries because it is not blueberry season. I will continue to search for a better blueberry pie recipe.
