I’ve tried this one and it’s the first time a recipe didn’t turn out entirely as expected. I think there is a step missing in the recipe? Because I took the blueberries directly from the freezer and tossed them with the starch and sugar. Once I’ve transferred everything onto the pie, sugar and starch were separate and didn’t stick to the blueberries at all because they were so frozen. That caused an uneven distribution of the ingredients, so it was unevenly sweet and some pieces were more firm than others. If I had taken the blueberries out of the freezer a bit sooner, it would have turned out better, I think. The flavour was good and we ate it all nevertheless 😉

Hey there, Ewe, thanks a bunch for sharing your feedback with the blueberry pie recipe 🤗 You’re absolutely right, when using frozen blueberries, it helps to let them thaw slightly (about 10 to 15 minutes) before mixing them with sugar and cornstarch so the coating sticks evenly. We’ve updated the recipe to make this step clearer. Thanks so much for helping us improve what we do! I’m so glad to hear you still enjoyed the flavour!✨

Hi PUL Team, do you think this would work with blackberries, too?
PUL Team - July 11, 2025, 8:30 p.m.
Hi Franziska! Yes, we think it would work well with blackberries too 🙂 That said, since blackberries are usually a bit more tart and juicy than blueberries, we’d suggest slightly increasing the sugar (maybe to about ¹⁄₃ cup (75 g) to counteract the tartness) and maybe consider increasing the cornstarch to 4 Tbsp (32 g) - this might only be necessary if your blackberries look especially juicy. We haven’t tested it ourselves yet, so it’s hard to say for sure... but we suspect those tweaks would do the trick! Let us know how it goes if you try it out!

I don’t get it, you just put frozen blueberries with the rest of the filling ingredients in the pie … without cooking it? My filling didn’t come out good at all…. I had to throw it away :(
PUL Team - Dec. 17, 2024, 1:36 p.m.
Hey there, Alina, this blueberry pie is baked for around 40 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden, as stated in step 11. Baking is essential to bring out the rich, jammy filling and ensure the crust is perfectly crisp and flaky. Without baking, it’s just raw ingredients waiting to transform into something magical 🫶
In case you're interested, pressing the red "Make" button at the bottom of the recipe will open step-by-step instructions with pictures that might help!

I was actually talking about blueberries, I am surprised they didn’t have to be cooked before tossing them in the crust. Isn’t corn starch supposed to be cooked to better mix with the blueberries??
PUL Team - Dec. 29, 2024, 11:29 p.m.
Hey Alina, great question! The cornstarch in the filling doesn't need to be cooked beforehand because it will activate and thicken as the blueberries bake and release their juices. As the pie bakes, the heat cooks the cornstarch and binds the juices, preventing the filling from being too runny.

Ice water as in water from melted ice? 😅want to try make it this afternoon and not sure 🫣
PUL Team - May 5, 2024, 12:31 p.m.
Hey Miki, haha sorry for the confusion. We mean water with ice cubes in it - so just water that's very, very cold. We show how to make pie crust in this video, in case it helps: https://youtu.be/_Z0RacfZ0r8?… 🥧 - enjoy!

Expected it to taste more of blueberries, but it tasted more of lemon. It was good nevertheless. 👍

This turned out better than I expected. The sweetness of the blueberries is complemented by the tartness of the lemon zest, I substituted vanilla for allspice and cinnamon to add a warm, spicy note to the filling. The crust was flaky, providing a perfect contrast to the juicy blueberry filling. Overall, a delicious blueberry pie 👌

Yayy we're so thrilled that the blueberry pie was enjoyed, Daizy, thank you! 😊

Looks so yummy! I’m going to try making it soon- do you think I could use a mix of berries? Raspberries for ex? What proportion would you suggest? Thanks!!
PUL Team - July 8, 2023, 9:45 p.m.
Hey Dima, we imagine that raspberries in the same portion could work well! Do let us know if you test it out 🤗
