  1. We really enjoyed this recipe. I did cheat some and used a refrigerated pie crust ~ I am pie crust challenged ~ otherwise I made as posted including using the blueberries. A delicious recipe ~ thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall 2008.
     
  2. This is utterly delicious. I thought it would be too tart without more sugar...but it wasn't! The crust is simply outstanding. I am delighted I tried this!
