Blueberry Pie

From the kitchen of Mom (Mary April)

Wild blueberries grow across the hills and bogs of northeastern Ohio, and picking them was a summer ritual in many rural families. Mary April's pie — built from fresh berries cooked into a thick, jammy filling — is as direct an expression of the season and the place as it's possible to find in a recipe. This is what summer in NE Ohio tastes like.
