I already posted on rec.food.baking, but my server doesn't like that group
today and isn't receiving it, so to you my dear friends, I am making this
plea:

Youngest daughter, Jill, has decided to bake Daddy a blueberry pie for
Father's Day. My bushes were generous and she has in excess of four cups of
blueberries cooling their heels in the fridge waiting for mom to get her act
together and help.

My question is this: I can google a blueberry pie recipe, but I want a
tried and true GOOD pie recipe that isn't too complicated that a 10 year old
can make it. Can anyone give me an assist here?

Thanks,
Ginny

One question: can she make pie crust?

One caution: it usually takes 6 cups of berries to make a pie. Better figure
on making a small one, or add some berries.

Ginny, this is probably coming too late, but the following is a terrific
blueberry pie recipe that I have made many times, with never a failure. I
generally use frozen berries, but fresh work just as well.

UMMMMMMMmmmmm, blueberries!

I loved blueberries so much, my grandmother made me a blueberry pie for
my first birthday instead of a cake.

Unfortunately, I don't have a recipe. (I seem to only know how to EAT
blueberry pie!)

But I'm looking forward to lots of great recipes for pies in this thread.
