Blueberry Pie…

There are times my daughter, Taylor just makes me laugh at her inconsistency. One day last week, I was making a smoothie and I asked if she wanted some. I told her the major ingredient was blueberries.  My daughter said “uhm no. I don’t like blueberries.” I replied to her "since when?" I was then told that she only like blueberries in muffins. I shook my head and dropped the subject.
On Sunday, I was in the kitchen, Taylor approached me and asked when I was going to make “that pie” she likes. I am puzzled and ask what pie? She says to me “Ya know the pie with fruit?” I said “the blueberry pie?” “No, Mommy the pie with the reddish purplish sauce to it?” I just could not resist dragging this conversation out and asked her several questions. I then told her, I could make the pie next weekend, but I was afraid she would not be able to eat it since it was blueberry and she didn’t like them. Taylor’s response was comical. She did a quick turn around and told me she liked blueberries, and could I make the pie this coming weekend.
 The recipe I use is from the Better Homes and Gardens, New Cook Book. For this recipe, I do make the crust from scratch, but feel free to use a store bought piecrust. I suggest getting the refrigerated in a box crust and not the frozen crust, since you need a top and bottom. I always get compliments with this recipe, so I have not dared to tinker with it.
