The basic recipe for fruit pies is as follows: 1. fruit 2. sugar 3. thickener For instance for blackberry pie use 3 cups blackberries, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour. Combine in a pie crust, and bake at 350F for about one hour. (Until done). Blueberries will work just the same as will peaches. For apples, select a more tart apple such as such as Winesap and add "allspice", or cinnamon and nutmeg. In apple pies brown sugar can be substituted for white sugar. All fruit pies are slight variations on this basic idea. The best pies start with the best ingredients, but are very simple recipies.

In addition to the basic fruit pie recipe, blueberry pie is very good with a Tablespoon of cinnamon (believe it or not) added! B. Walsh

This is a "truly tested" blueberry pie recipe. It works great without trying to figure out if you need peaches, blackberries, apples and or blueberries. With these ingredients you will also need measuring devices and a 9-inch pie plate with bottom and top crust. BLUEBERRY PIE 3 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (or 1 pkg. 16-ounce unsweetened frozen blueberries) 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind 3/4 cup sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons flour Line a 9-inch pie plate with your favorite crust. Roll out top crust and chill both until needed. Wash and drain blueberries (partially thaw frozen ones). Add lemon juice, rind, sugar, salt and flour. Mix well and fill pie shell. Cover with vented top crust or make a lattice top. Bake 10 minutes at 450 degrees F. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F. and bake 30 minutes longer. Serve hot or cold.
