Blueberry Pie Comparison

ECBG — Wed, 05 Aug 2020 03:38:45 GMT

I made a fresh blueberry pie several weeks ago using a deep dish Pet Ritz deep dish crust. Then, at the beach our newly 14 yr old grandson made the same pie.

I was at Fresh Market the other day and brought and froze their blueberry pie which I thawed tonight.

As easy as that Betty Crocker recipe was, using a deep dish frozen Pet Ritz pie crust for top and bottom, mine was superior. For a deep fish, use a 10 in recipe.

Theirs wasn't anywhere as good..

Here's the recipe:

I did NOT use lemon juice or cinnamon.

@ECBG -

That sounds so good!

Do you use cinnamon and if you do, can you taste the cinnamon in it?

Blueberry pie is probably my favorite pie! I used to make a really good apple

@on the bay No, I don't use cinnamon or lemon. If I made a peach one, I would use some fruit fresh.

I wanted traditional pie, not a "twist". I don't get it often enough to "twist", lol!!!

@ECBG ,

I'd want the traditional too.

So, I'll be right over!

I like mine with 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 2 tbsp lemon juice, and a lattice top crust.

@ECBG That recipe looks great. I agree with you, no lemon or cinnamon. I like traditional pie as well.

I'm sure the pie recipe is good, but FYI, this thread was just bumped from almost four years ago...

Sounds so yummy! I love it heated up a bit with some vanilla ice cream!

Speaking of blueberries---I bought a couple of pints--and thought I'd have to really sugar them up as they were so small in size but I was so wrong!! My gosh---were they so flavorful!! I love a berry pie--not so much one that is all blueberries but I do make a bumble berry pie with blue, raspberries and blackberries and even strawberries too.

@ECBG Thanks for posting this! We make fruit pies like that and often substitute or replace some of the white sugar with brown, and usually cut back on the sugar. We always use vanilla too, and a tablespoon or less of Chambord Liqueur in a blueberry pie takes it up a notch too.

ECBG's recipe made me think my husband (he's the pie maker here) got a recipe from Victoria Magazine many years ago for blueberry pie and made it, and I don't know where the recipe is now, but basically this is the add-ins listed above.

Never saw that anywhere else but everyone loved it.

I should have put the recipe is from the 1970 Betty Crocker cookbook.

@ECBG I HAVE the Betty Crocker cookbook from that year. Or maybe a year later. It's the one with the round design on the red cover with pie-shaped photos. We've made a million recipes, especially the stir-and-roll pizza from college years when we were too poor to buy pizza.

We like the Herb Rub for pork so much, we put it in a shaker!!!

I love fresh blueberry pie. My favorite crust is the one you mentioned, I always bought two, one each for top and bottom.

I haven't been able to find it for about 4 years. Which store did you find it?

(Pet Ritz Deep Dish Crust)

@Alsace Gal

So very sorry. We have a hometown store that's really big and has crossed the southern border into SC. I shop there. Publix is our other choice and I rarely go in there!
