Why don’t people like blueberry pie?

Trader Joe’s actually has a decent one.
Epicurious has a good one that is a blueberry sour cream custard pie (solves the runny problem).

My least favorite fruit pie is peach—I love peaches but cooked peaches somehow get a bitter taste. I want to love it but I don’t.

The best peach is a good crust but fresh ripe uncooked peaches in a gelatin basr

Nope - blueberry pies are not my thing. Texture and depth of flavor is all wrong. Much prefer (in order): apple, peach, strawberry, cherry, blackberry pies.

Trader Joe’s wild blueberry pie was really good when I tried it a few years back.

I prefer cobbler, and I couldn't care less which fruit is used.

Anyone make a blueberry pie for the holiday? Mine turned out great and I'm having a slice for breakfast with some Greek yogurt.

Does anyone have a good recipe to share? My son asked if we could make it this morning.

Here's mine: 5 cups of blueberries, zest and juice of a lemon, 3/4 c sugar, 1/2 c flour, 1/8 t salt, 2T cornstarch, 1/2 t vanilla, 1/2 t cinnamon. Combine all of this in a pie crust, dot with 2 T diced butter. Top with pie crust, brush with a beaten egg and sprinkled sugar and bake at 400 degrees about 40 minutes.

I use Ina Garten's perfect pie crust (the one you make in a food processor).

Yes, as a baker cherries are my least fav to work with. Blueberries on the other hand are my favorite! I love a blueberry/cranberry combo

Sour cherry pies are the best. It’s a lot of work but well worth it.

Any fruit pie they isn't cloyingly sweet is fine by me. It's when there's too much sugar that I say, "no thank you," or pass the plate to my husband (who will eat any pie, any time).

I just don’t like any fruit pies. Warm and Mushy fruit just make me sick thinking about it- it’s a texture thing for me, I love fruit ( including blueberries ) but baked into a pie- just a no for me.

Blueberries have an odd taste to me when cooked, and there's something so blue and mushy about them that is unappealing.

On the other hand, I love cherry pie. It's right up there with pumpkin for one of my favorites.

Whipped cream.

I love a home made one. But the gluey canned ones are disgusting.
