I just wanted a simple blueberry pie recipe. I looked high and low, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. So I went back to my Grandmother's recipe box from the 1940's and 50's and found exactly what I wanted. The result was a blueberry pie that made my mouth SING! Sometimes the best recipes are the older ones!

How to Make Grandma Catherine's Blueberry Pie

Step-by-Step

Combine berries, sugar, flour, salt, and lemon juice.
Fill an 8 or 9-inch pastry-lined pie pan with the blueberry mixture.
Dot top with butter, then add the top crust. Slit the top.
Bake in a 400o oven for 40-50 minutes.
For the crust, use your favorite recipe or try this one...
In a bowl add the flour, salt, and shorting. Use 2 table knives or a pastry cutter to cut the dough.
Add the water and then cut the ingredients until the dough comes together.
Divide into 2 balls. Roll out each to fit the pie pan.
Fill and cook as directed above.
Place on top crust and slit. Bake as directed.
Optional:
Before baking:
Using a pastry brush, brush the top with milk. Sprinkle the top with granulated sugar.
