This is a good pie for someone who likes their pies more on the tart side rather than the sweet side. As an inexperienced pie baker, I'm always a little nervious when a recipe says 'juice of ' a certain number of lemons or limes. How much juice should the limes produce? My 3 limes produced 2/3 c. juice and that worked out fine. The filling held together well.

This was wonderful. I thought the amount of sugar was exactly right, with a nice balance between the fruity, zingy filling and the sweeter crunchier topping. I used unsweetened dessicated coconut, since that's what I had, and the type wasn't specified. I served this with slightly sweetened vanilla whipped cream, and it was joyfully inhaled by all present.

An excitingly different and zingy pie, maybe even too much so, the subtle flavor of blueberries was compromised by limes somewhat. I increased the sugar to 1 cup and that was perfect for us. I would be carefull with the limes and maybe just add 2 limes first, then taste if more is desired. I would double the coconut topping next time also, or add some coconut to the pie crust as well.

Fantastic! I didn't have quite enough tapioca so I just used what I had and the pie was a little runny, but that is completely my fault. The lime and blueberries together is a wonderful taste. My berries were fresh picked and very sweet so I reduced the amount of sugar down to about 1/3 cup. We loved it. DS has asked that this be our go-to blueberry pie from now on.

This pie is unbelievably delicious. I used frozen wild maine blueberries, and made a cream cheese crust. I also doubled the crumb topping. I can't wait to make this again.
