Blueberries my favorite fruit! If I can stop eating all the fresh blueberries long enough I love to make blueberry pies. There are so many wonderful blueberry pie recipes that I love but this one is perfect for the 4th of July!  Perfect for a backyard barbecue or to take along to a family reunion, just so wonderfully delicious! If you are short for time or just don’t want to make your own crust, use store-bought refrigerated pie crust which you can find in the dairy section of your grocery store. I have used Pillsbury when I am short on time which is very good.
