Steps:
- In medium bowl, mix 2 cups flour and the salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
- Gather pastry into a ball. Divide in half; shape into 2 flattened rounds on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
- Heat oven to 425°F. With floured rolling pin, roll one round into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side.
- In large bowl, mix sugar, 1/2 cup flour and the cinnamon. Stir in blueberries. Spoon into pastry-lined pie plate. Sprinkle any remaining sugar mixture over blueberry mixture. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Cut butter into small pieces; sprinkle over blueberries. Cover with top pastry that has slits cut in it; seal and flute. Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning.
- Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust, removing foil for last 15 minutes of baking. Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours.

MAINE WILD BLUEBERRY PIE
This pie is the perfect end to a summer meal! I adapted it slightly from a recipe in Coastal New England Summertime Cooking by Sherri Eldridge. I prefer it the second day, after the flavors have had time to meld together. Yum! Cook time includes time for blueberry mixture to sit. You can also dot the top with a small amount of margarine or butter before adding the second crust for a slightly richer texture and flavor.

I MISS BAR HARBOR BLUEBERRY PIE
Hubby and I just took a trip to lovely Bar Harbor, Maine where we ate lots of lobster and blueberry pie! So the following weekend, when real life set back in, I found myself making a tangy, sweet, really good fresh blueberry pie. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Clean, dry blueberries, picking out stems, green berries, and broken berries.
- Toss berries in sugar, corn starch, cinnamon, salt until evenly coated.
- Pour berries into crust.
- Dot with butter.
- Top with crust top layer, sealing edges and making perforations, OR:.
- I removed the other crust from the 2pack I had and rolled it out with a rolling pin, and made cutouts with a heart shaped cookie cutter and arranged those pieces over the top of the pie, leaving some holes throughout. It baked so beautifully with blueberries peeking through the layers of hearts.
- Bake on the bottom shelf of the oven for 45 mins, or until the inside is bubbling.
