The crust is delicious and so easy to work with. However, even with weighing ingredients and temp checking the pie, waiting 5 hours before cutting, my filling was not set up fully. It tastes good though 🙂 I used frozen wild blueberries. Perhaps I should have thawed and drained them?

Hi Zoe! Thank you for sharing your recipe!
I used my crust and your filling; the pie is beautiful and delicious! The ginger gives the berries a little zing and the lemon really brightens the flavors.
Thanks again! I’ll try some more of your recipes 🙂

I made this pie for the first time today following your pie crust recipe. It tastes fantastic and looks beautiful. I did substitute Clear Gel from KAF and the pie set up beautifully. Come back to VT, Zoe! Would love to take an in person class at KAF with you!! Thank you for being such a light!

Hi Mary,

It sounds like you may need more binder for your berries. If the filling was bubbling, then it should have been cooked enough to set the starch in the filling. Your berries may have been juicier than mine, so they need more starch to hold them together. Or, as you suggested, you can reduce them down on the stove first, which will remove some liquid.

Thanks, Zoë

tried this for pi day last week. the crust was amazing- flaky, buttery and easy to work with. i had some problems with the filling though, my biggest being that there was a LOT of liquid that spilled into the pan after i cut a slice out. i had to put it back in the oven for an hour to get the filling to set up (the filling was also not cohesive. blueberries were falling out left and right). would cooking it on the stove beforehand help? the flavour was pretty good. i added some blueberry liquor and i’ll probably throw in some more lemon next time too.

Wow! It looks amazing,
If I have only 3 cups of blueberries is it still possible to make it? Or I must have 6 cups?

Is it alright if I use vegan butter? And is there a substitute for the egg wash for vegans?
