Summer is quickly approaching and we’re starting to see some amazing berries in our stores.
We asked Carol Steed of Fairfield Farms for her favorite blueberry recipes. She sent us her twist on two classic ways to use blueberries. Her Blueberry Power Smoothie is a great way to start the day, and her Favorite Blueberry Pie is absolutely the perfect way to end it!

*Frozen bananas are a favorite addition, because they make the smoothie thick and creamy. To freeze: peel, cut in half and put in ziploc bag.

Prepare pie crust in a 9” plate. Fill pie with fruit. I like to make a lattice top. Simply roll out the dough and cut in 8 strips about 1” wide. Lay 4 strips across vertically, then turn the pie and weave in the other 4 strips. Pinch edges of the pie and brush with the milk. You can also sprinkle a little sugar on top. Bake at 425F for 25 minutes and then reduce to 350F for another 35-40 minutes until its bubbly on the sides. Let pie cool. Serve with ice cream.
