Easy Blueberry Pie is a family recipe that has been passed down through the generations.  It’s simple, classic and delicious!

 

 

This Blueberry Pie is a family recipe on my husband’s side.

It’s his Grandmother, Miranda Heath’s recipe.

I don’t know the story of where she got it from – her mother, made it up or even a cook book.

What I do know is that it’s referred to as Miranda Heath’s Blueberry Pie.

And that is all I really need to know.

This summer I’ve taken my kids berry picking – A LOT.

We went strawberry picking twice, raspberry picking and finally blueberry picking.

As a parent I try to teach my children about the world around us through activities like berry picking.

I really wanted them to see how fruit was grown and where it comes from and how it got from the plant to the grocery store.

I didn’t want my kids thinking there was a berry fairy who made it all happen, but that it comes from somewhere and has to be lovingly picked.

Plus I really wanted them to taste it straight from the garden and how fresh and delicious it was.

 

 

A quick Google search gave us a blueberry picking location and off we went!

The entire time we were picking, my daughter couldn’t stop talking about how desperately she wanted a blueberry pie.

Apparently that’s the only thing she could think of to use them for and desperately wanted me to make one.

Keep in mind, she doesn’t like blueberries and refused to even try one.

This was quite funny to me!

 

 

So when we got home, we took a pint over to our 93 year old neighbor and gave a bowl full to my in-laws.

Liz, my mother in law, knew of my daughter’s desire to have Blueberry pie and whipped up this family recipe passed on from her mother-in-law.

We were so excited when we showed up and found this beautiful blueberry pie made with the blueberries that my daughter picked.

Lucky us!

We ate dinner and then brought out this gorgeous pie and sliced it up.

Now as you recall, the only thing my daughter has been able to talk about was this blueberry pie.

Her desire to eat it had become almost an obsession.

However, her excitement began to crumble as she realized she was going to have to actually eat it.

With all the courage she could muster and a lot of reminders as to why we are eating blueberry pie, she did finally try a tiny bite.

As expected, based on her unwillingness to even try a single fresh picked blueberry, she instantly claimed she did not like it.

Despite that, I was so proud of her for trying one.

The rest of us though all thought it was a very tasty pie!!

A dash of whipped cream on top and we each devoured a slice and took some home for later!

This pie isn’t full of fillers.

It’s a classic blueberry pie at it’s finest and has held true and steady over the generations!

If you love blueberries, give this family recipe a try!

*Update: The very next summer we went blueberry picking again.  This time her taste buds (and willingness to try new foods) had developed over the last year.  They developed so well that while blueberry picking she was eating them right off the bush!  Now I wont say she’s a blueberry lover.  But she doesn’t hate them either.  So I’ll take that as a win!
