[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought cherry was the most hated of all pies: skin too chewy, too runny, too sour[/quote]

As a regular fruit pie baker, it's the cherry (sour cherry) pies that are the most sought after among our friends and the most requested pie.

OP: I have mixed feelings on blueberry pies. When the blueberries are tart the pie can be wonderful. If the blueberries are not tart, it can be just sugary and bland.

Many people add tapioca or too much cornstarch to the blueberry filling to prevent it and I don't like that either. Then you have the people who don't like a lot of liquid in their pies and blueberry pies can be very liquidy.

I'd suggest that blueberries are perhaps the most difficult pie to pull off successfully. If it's not well done, it can be meh. [/quote]

This.  I do love blueberries as part of a fruit blend -- I once had an amazing peach-blueberry pie--but the blueberries have to be tart.  A lot of blueberries are huge but basically flavorless, and then you just have a big, mushy, bland pie that stains everything.

And sour cherry pie is my favorite![/quote]
