I don't think I've ever had blueberry pie before. I'm kinda of an Apple Pie girl, and to be honest, I wasn't even really interested in trying this. Oddly enough, my "I don't really like sweets" husband seemed VERY interested in it. So, I made a big pie to take to work, and a little mini pie just for him. :-) This pie definitely got rave reviews, so I snuck a small piece for myself. It certainly won't replace apple pie at the top of my list, but it sure was some great pie!
Once again I faced the no-food-processor challenge. My itty bitty processor stand-in was even too small for half the crust recipe, so I had to do it in quarters. I was quite happy with how it all came together... I consider my first blueberry pie adventure a success! I even made homemade vanilla ice cream to serve with the pie to friends. :-)

That's funny, my "I don't really like sweets" boyfriend was really into the blueberry pie idea too. Back when we made carrot cake all the men in TWDers lives were into that too. Perhaps men are just more inclined to like carrot cake and blueberry pie. Wierd. At any rate your pie looks very neat. I love it.
You pie looks fabulous... and I hope despite not having a food processor, you pulled it off great!
Oh so cute. I had to use a mini food processor too - what a pain! It makes me want to go and get a large one just so I don't have to make crusts in batches any more.
great job on the pie! you are very resourceful, making four crust batches ;)
Hmmmm, we need to either take up a cause to get you a food processor, or find you a different pie crust method.
Super cute! Can't believe the mini-processor thing--you have GOT to get yourself a bigger one... or a pastry cutter:}
isn't it sad? i don't have a big processor either - i just used my fingers. maybe one day we will be like the other cool kids.
one day.
I ended up doing the crust by hand because my food processor is so small. Your pie looks delicious!
I love the mini pie for the "I don't like sweets" guy in your life. Great job!
I'm impressed that you did it in four batches! That's dedication. Great job.
Glad it was a success. I love the lattice crust. It looks so pretty!
It looks great even if it wasn't your favorite starting out.
You've got some lucky colleagues! That pie is a beauty!
Yummy looking pie! I love the way you used the cut-outs for the big pie to top the little pie -- so cute!
That pie looks so good, i want a piece right now. You did a great job cutting your pie into a perfect little piece. Mine just flow all over the place.
I love the heart cut outs on top. Great job!
