Another day celebrating another sweet dessert pie, this time one made with blueberries.
Many types of dessert pies are filled with fruit, but blueberries are considered to be one of the easiest that can be made. Like other pies, this has a pastry base inside which is the blueberry filling. the pie may lack a top crust or, alternatively, it can be a circular pastry crust or a crumble crust.
Blueberries are small, indigo coloured berries that are grown in many places. The peak season for harvesting can stretch from May to August, in the Northern Hemisphere, so April is on the early side of the season to be celebrating a pie made from blueberries.
The reason that blueberry pies are considered to be one of the easiest is because of the amount of preparation that needs doing to them first - which is basically washing them and removing any extraneous stalks. They don't need seeding, pitting, skinning or pre-cooking; they can just be baked as is.
