I followed this recipe to the "T" but when I started filling the pastries the blueberry mixture was way to juicy and I had about (4) blow outs out of the twelve. After the first batch was done, I drained the blueberries and then filled the other pastries with just the fruit without any blow outs. However, my neighbors really liked them.
