Blueberry pie

Encyclopedia : B : BL : BLU : Blueberry pie

Blueberry pie is pie composed of blueberry filling, usually in the form of either blueberry jam, actual blueberries themselves, or some combination thereof. Blueberry pie is somewhat less sweet than blackberry pie, usually requiring an amount of sugar equal to 1/5 the number of cups of blueberries used whereas blackberry pie requires only a sprinkling of sugar for taste. The blueberries need not be stewed or soaked in water prior to baking whereas blackberry pie does require soaking blackberries prior to baking in order to prevent burning. Farmer, Fannie.

Blueberry pie can be quite messy when one cuts into it, and the filling is quite dark. Blueberry pie will stain most article of clothing, especially white ones.
