blueberry pr0n..
...the edible kind, that is!
i spent this past weekend visiting some friends out in western massachusetts, about 20 miles from new york state. while we were there, chris made pies. the first night was fresh peach pie; regrettably, i forgot to document the pie making or the pie eating, but it was really good!
since the night before chris had made enough of a buttery dough for two pies, and only used one up, we decided to make another fresh fruit pie. we had seen a few Pick-your-own blueberry places lining the roads, so we decided to go look for one. we hit the jackpot!
picking our own berries was so much fun! if we accidently picked one that was a bit too green, just move on to the next one!
we picked about six pounds of them and the total was only $7.50!!
once we got home, chris got to work on the pie. first, he blind-baked the pie crust, making sure the edges wouldn’t burn:
the filling was next. a handful or so of the blueberries were washed and blended to make part of the filling:
then, added the crust texturing! i am sure there’s a better term for it, but i can’t think of it:
and, voilà, the finished blueberry pie
i should have taken more pictures, but when the vanilla ice cream was brought out of the freezer, the pie didn’t last. may it rest in peace, with the knowledge that it fullfilled our bellies!
