Cape Cod Blueberry Pie
We Northeasterners have been baking this pie since the 18th century. Settlers would’ve used little wild blueberries and topped it with cream. I do, too. —Nancy O'Connell, Biddeford, Maine

My uncle made this pie every summer as far back as I can remember in the 60's to the 80's now I make it every summer and have passed it on to the next two generations.
Excellent recipe for fresh blueberries, but also used frozen berries for the cooked berry step. I grew up with blueberry bushes in our yard, I wish this recipe was in cookbooks a long time ago...easy, fresh tasting and delicious!
The flavor is this pie is really good. Was not my favorite pie. I wouldn't turn it down if it was offered to me but out of blueberry pie recipe I don't have a drive to make this one again.
This style of pie is my favorite with blueberries. I have done this with fresh strawberries as well. Great with wild or store bought berries. I;ll make this again and again. Janet. VFE
Absolutely the best blueberry pie I ever made or tasted, the blueberries burst in your mouth and had huge blueberry flavor. Easy to make. Used fresh blueberries we pick every year when we vacation in South Carolina. Sauce was very easy to make. My son and his family said it was excellent and had to keep the grandsons from eating the entire pie. Definitely a keeper.
Best blueberry pie. I love that it had one crust so that the blueberries are the star. Added some frozen berries as I didn't have enough fresh. Excellent and easy to make.
This pie is one of our favorites. It is simple, quick & delicious. If you like blueberries like we do, the blueberry flavor is punched up to a ten. Whole blueberries suspended in a rich blueberry sauce supported by a bit of crust. The whole blueberries burst in your mouth when you eat it. This time I added a few dashes of my good Penzeys cinnamon, it gives the pie a warm flavor I enjoy in my jams. Get the whipped cream or ice cream ready, it doesn't last long at my house. My friend said it was the best blueberry pie he ever ate...thank you Nancy! Mainers know their blueberries!
Oh, my, this is good! The hardest part was waiting for the filling to set! It really highlights blueberries in season.
This was REALLY good. I will make this again only next time I will add 4 cups of blueberries to the saucepan instead of one cup and add 2 cups whole berries. Family stated there were too many whole berries. Otherwise AWESOME.
Really EASY & DELICIOUS!!!!! I baked a pillsbury pie crust instead of making my own....fresh blueberries are the best but using frozen blueberries works just add 1/2 tbsp. More of flour to thicken.....used lemon juice to replace vinegar and added a dash of cinnamon....A
