I've never entered a cooking contest before, but when Country Woman requested blueberry recipes, I had to send in this pie. Mom and I have fun making it together, and I hope one day to be a great baker like she is.

Excellence. The crust is delicious (especially when brushed with butter before baking). I added an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the filling and a little extra lemon zest and juice to both the crust and the filling. Perfect blueberry lemon combination :)
