这饼是美丽的,适合第四!我ade it exactly as written except I made a slurry out of the corn starch in a little extra OJ before adding, so I didn't end up with lumps. The consistency was perfect and set up nicely, even with the extra liquid. The pie was very good, and everyone liked it. Next time, I will make two changes to suit my taste: For me, it just needed more zing - more lemon. Next time, I will substitute lemon juice for at least some of the OJ, maybe all. I think there's enough sugar to balance it. Also (personal preference), I just didn't love the graham crust with blueberries. Next time, I plan to use Lorna Doones or vanilla wafers for my crust.

我ade this dessert for a little 4th of July gathering at my house . Everyone loved it. We’re getting together again exactly one week later, and as requested I will be making it again. I think this will be my new go to summer fruit pie recipe.

Although the recipe says it will set if it's in the fridge for at least four hours, mine took a little over twelve hours. I also added a few extra graham crackers and more butter for the crust. But besides that, all the other components worked well. The pie practically disappeared in seconds.

我ade this exactly as the recipe is written except I didn't have vanilla bean so substituted vanilla extract and it was delicious. Super easy and delicious for the holiday weekend!

我ade the filling exactly as the recipe called but I found, unlike the other reviewers, that the berries weren't sweet enough. I am sure it was the sweetness of the berries I used before cooking, so I can add a bit more sugar next time. I also like a little more vanilla flavor in my whipped cream. It was really beautiful and so patriotic that I would make it again. I didn't have a problem with the cornstarch seizing. It was really quite easy to make so I will definitely try it again with some minor adjustments. I also found the crust stuck to the pie plate so I used an ordinary spatula that helped it along. Would have loved to submit a photo as it is just spectacular to look at.

Made this one for the 4th and all the guests loved it although like a couple of other reviewers I found it a tad sweet so will probably cut back the sugar next time. Also I made a slurry of the cornstarch to avoid the straining/seizing issues, next time I'll use orange or lemon juice instead of water for the slurry to counteract the sweetness issue. I would also recommend using a bit more butter in the crust and good quality graham crackers or digestive biscuits (the English ones) instead of nabisco. On the whole though it was fast, easy, tasted great and looked patriotic! Perfect 4th of July dessert with just some minor tweaks.

This was delicious. Brought it to a July 4th gathering of 6 people and there was only one piece left! My only problem is that the crust stuck to the pie plate - however, I was using gluten free graham cracker crumbs, so that might have made a difference. Next time, I will grease the pie pan first.

It wasn't bad, but it was a bit too sweet and a bit too rich. I could only eat a sliver of it, and didn't want more. I wish the tartness of the blueberries would have come through more. I thought it would because of the lemon and orange juice, but it didn't.

As written, the cornstarch has a chance of siezing when added to the berries; mine did, and had to be strained through a sieve with a large spoon. Perhaps make a slurry with the orange juice and add it to the warm berries and them bring to a boil for better success. I halved cherries and added the left over blueberries to what was a thick and very costly berry sauce. I don't think I'll make this again.

之后我做了这个我想叫一些friends to see if they wanted half of it, since we had plenty of other treats around the house. Then I tasted it and decided I would share the next one. Only thing I did different from the recipe was make a little extra whipped cream. It made exactly enough filling for a deep dish pie pan.

I am 12, and this was super easy! It was delicious, and totally a was worth making. With my extra blueberries, I'm making muffins!

This recipe is both easy and delicious and was a huge hit at a family gathering. I would highly recommend making the whipped cream per the instructions, the vanilla gives it a really nice flavor. I had about 2 cups of leftover filling, which we ate with ice cream at another meal - it was delicious but you could probably cut down on the blueberries by about 1 - 2 cups if you wanted to.
