                To make my first blueberry pie, this is the recipe I used.  The juices were a bit too runny, so I might try 3 tablespoons of corn starch instead of 2.  And because there is 3 tablespoons of sugars on the crust, I felt the filling was a touch too sweet.  So next time I might decrease the sugar in the filling by 3 tablespoons.  All in all though, this recipe was a hit.  Easy to make and really yummy.  Such a beautiful crust too.
