Tomorrow is Mother's Day, but it's unlikely I'll have a chance to spend much time with my mom. Yes it's true my parents live next door, but they're just so busy! Anyway, we had a great time celebrating today instead. I decided to turn my new pie making hobby into a Mother's Day gift/gesture of appreciation, and made my mom's favourite kind of pie: blueberry. I used a somewhat simplified version of this recipe for the filling (Martha recommends all sorts of time consuming steps involving freezing the pie before cooking it, but I only had a few hours). For the crust, I used Martha's pate brisee recipe, which once again proved relatively simple to make and delicious to eat. Here are some pictures.
Mmmmm...fresh blueberries! I ate sooooooo many of these during the baking process.
Assembling the pie...
Here it is basking in the sun, pre-bake.
Whipping up some cream...
The finished product. The picture looks like crap because I had to use a flash, but at least the plate is pretty.
