MM, Did you know that Dole is currently experimenting on growing blueberries in South Cotabato? Sounds incredible, but it seems the conditions there are perfect for these bluies. Yup, we could be a blueberry-exporting country someday!

Ah, I love both apple and blueberry pies! Freshly baked and hot & topped with premium vanilla ice cream…great!

Baking them at home is the only way you can taste decent fruit pies even here. The fruit pies you pick up at the super market are filled from large pails of commercial ready-made fillings that are artificialy flavoured and coloured and thickly bound with modified cornstarch called Quickjell. I avoid using fresh ones unless I picked them myself. I just mix equal parts of frozen wild and frozen cultivated blueberries and use fine tapioca (pearl sago) as thickener and it floods the house with this wonderful blueberry aroma that reminds me of fragrant sanggumay (the common purple dendrobium).

I’ve had the great experience of picking fresh blueberries and other kinds of berries in the woods of Norway. Our host made pies and compote out of them and I prefer the blueberries most of all. After having eaten these, I agree with Elaine that the pies made out of the fresh ones seem incomparable but then…I still enjoy eating blueberry pies and cheesecakes! Your meals are a delight to read…I’ve “fattened” up already :-)!

Fresh(US)blueberries taste great as ,unfortunately, compared to the ones we have up north, here in the Philippines. Nothing beats to the taste of fresh blueberry pie and apple pie. I love ’em plain!

I recently found frozen blueberries and assorted berries in the chillers of S&R in Filinvest. I would definitely make these pies(blueberry or apple), it will surely be a challenge for me (making the crust)but these pies just look to goood to pass up.

i love blueberries and there’s nothing like the fresh ones, you’ve gotta try it, sometimes we even eat fresh blueberries with marshmallows, really good. . . .
