Aunt Del’s Blueberry Pie

Have you buzzed through the produce section at Wal-Mart (or your local grocery store) lately and taken a look at the blueberries this year?  They look pretty plump and tasty.  Probably all the spring rains.  Well – grab a couple of packages and make this pie soon.  Sure would be a pretty ‘blue’ dish for a 4th of July celebration or maybe for Father’s Day next weekend.   This recipe shared by my Aunt Del from Zachary, Louisiana. Thanks Aunt Del!

Aunt Del’s Blueberry Pie

2 cups blueberries
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
¼ cup margarine or butter
unbaked pie shell (pie crust recipe below)
3 heaping Tbsp. flour

 Mix ingredients except for blueberries until well blended.  Stir in berries and pour into unbaked pie shell and bake 45-50 minutes at 350 degrees.  Top cooled pie with cool whip or ice cream when served.

Easy Pie Crust (makes 2 crusts)

1 and ½ cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup Crisco shortening
1/3 cup milk

 Mix flour and salt.  Cut in the Crisco to make a crumbly mixture.  Stir in milk to form dough.  Flour a pastry cloth and cover a rolling pin with a pastry sleeve which has been floured.  Roll out half of dough for one crust.  Makes two crusts.

Y’all Enjoy!
