I always use the juice of one lemon (or at least a half of lemon) and lemon zest and I think that takes away any kind of floury taste that you may get, I love a pie that is juicy as long as the bottom curst is cooked, and baking at 400 degrees initially as your recipe states, is the best way to get that ceblainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192522179238414380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-78354940510008768712016-08-05T20:37:53.944-04:002016-08-05T20:37:53.944-04:00I bought a dwarf blueberry plant this year that is...I bought a dwarf blueberry plant this year that is made for being kept in a pot.

There was an untended field of blueberries on the property, but of course the berries didn't ripen until camp was just about over.

They have a field of low bush blueberries. Each year when we'd visit my husband would spend hours picking berries. Each day we'd try another recipe (ah youth when you can eat like that!). We decided the definitive blueberry recipe was an uncooked pie.

I have a pie thickener from King Arthur Flour, but I haven't tried it yet, my pies usually fall apart a little bit, too, but when they taste great I don't worry too much about it. :-)<br /><br />p.s.
