Blueberry Cream Pie

“Well over 100 years old, this recipe has been part of my family forever. My Grandmother, born in the 1880's taught it to us, and who taught it to her, I have no clue. It turns out to be a very large pie with a layer of custard, topped with a layer of blueberries, and then a layer of meringue. If you like blueberries, its a keeper. My Grandma always said that you could make a smaller pie by using a pint of blueberries, but we have never tested that theory.”

I never did get the sugar to dissolve completely into the egg. I tried FOREVER! But it didn't matter because it turned out great. It didn't have the distinct layers as I guess its supposed to, but it did have a thin crunchy coating of meringue on top. Whatever - we LOVED it!

This pie took sometime to prepare, but worth every minute of it. I've made many pies over the years, but I have to say as far as blueberry pies go this turned far better than any I've made. My husband, son & I love it. Our next door neighbors let us pick their blueberries because they didn't want them. I made two pies and gave them one of them. They loved it also. Will use this recipe a lot.

This was so good, my family said it was the best they had ever eaten. I used heavy whipping cream as a substitute for milk, and it worked very well. Will be making this many more times!

More work than it's worth. I picked it because it looked like a challenging, delicious pie. I was disappointed however with how it tasted. Not what I was expecting. Won't be one I try again soon.

I really don't know what happened with this recipe. I am a pretty good baker but this pie did not turn out well. I followed the recipe to the letter. But the meringue started burning before the time was up. I let it cook as long as I could before it burned. The blueberries were yummy inside, but it was not a firm pie at all. All I seemed to get was blueberries in a crust with meringue and some very runny cream. The blueberries cost me a small fortune for it to have turned out so mediocre. The only reason it is mediocre was because the blueberries were sweet and tasted nice.
