The Best Blueberry Pie
For many years we lived in New Jersey where blueberry you-picks are plentiful. In fact we had one right around the corner from one of the houses we lived in. That is actually one of the biggest things I miss about living in New Jersey.
The kids and I made almost daily trips after breakfast to pick blueberries. It was something the kids loved doing and then they loved enjoying fresh blueberries with their lunch. With young kids it was a great way to get them out of the house and have some fun.
However the downside to them being young was that at times they over picked blueberries from what we would need for lunch and so we had to find things to make with them. Thankfully there are plenty of things to make with blueberries. We of course ended up freezing blueberries often as well so we could use them all year long.

Ok maybe I don’t because I don’t think there could ever be enough photos of the gorgeousness that is this from scratch blueberry pie.
What Can I do with Blueberries?
Well aside from the obvious of making homemade blueberry pie there are lots of things to make! The good thing about fresh picked blueberries is that they keep for 10-14 days in the fridge if needed however my kids want to enjoy them as soon as possible even now when I buy blueberries at the store. Thankfully there are so many easy blueberry recipes to make.

Store Bought or Homemade Crust?
I love making homemade pie crust and much prefer it, however you can use store bought pie crust for this easy blueberry pie recipe.
Depending on the time that I have there are times that I will make a lattice pie crust because I love the way a homemade blueberry pie looks with the lattice pie crust.
For this homemade blueberry pie recipe I use a lattice pie crust, however feel free to use a store bought pie crust or to skip making the lattice crust and place a solid pie crust on top and just use slits to vent the pie while it is baking. The lattice pie crust and a homemade pie crust recipe are the same basic recipe, the difference is how you lay the top pie crust layer on the pie.
Can I make lattice pie crust with refrigerated pie crust?
If you are using a store bought refrigerated pie crust you will use the one crust as the bottom and then you can use the second pie crust dough to make a lattice crust. All you have to do is roll the pie crust dough out into a thin circle then take a ruler and cut 1 inch strips. Use those one inch strips to form the lattice crust.
Should Blueberry pie be left out?
When you are storing this homemade pie you have 2 options. It can be left out at room temperature while covered for 2 days. You can also store this pie in the fridge covered and it will keep for 4-5 days.

I took my son and some friends cherry picking when we lived in Southern California – we had requests for cherries from friends and family….ended up picking 72 pounds of cherries! and of course, the kids ate their fill too….I ran out of things to make! What fun it is to go, though…
