I made two different blueberry-cranberry pie for Canada Day, today, cause you just can't have too much pie. And that was true. Both are gone. This one's delicious. I did take pattikay's advice and added a tiny bit of spice (I love a touch of cinnamon with blueberries). Thanks!

This was absolutely amazing! I actually was using up a bag of frozen blueberries, so I was a bit short and made it up with some fresh cut apples just picked last night from the orchard. Absolutely to DIE for! A "keeper" for sure! Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe! XO LA :-)

FANTASTIC! We loved this pie! The cranberries gave a nice tartness to the sweet blueberries. This is a real winner. I had to go to three stores to find the cranberries as they are not in season, I used frozen.

What a great pie! I only had 10 oz of blueberries so I used more cranberries and it worked just fine - the blueberries assert themselves quite well. For 1/2 cup of the sugar I used brown sugar and I also added some cinnamon and allspice. Recipe #244595 served as a nice sturdy base for this pie. Thanks for posting!
