Congrats! It looks way prettier than my “rustic” pies. I love the Martha Stewart recipe. Did you dorkily time the dough in the food processor like I do? I would expect no less from a gal who buys acronym-themed snacks for the Oscars.
Sadly, I didn’t get to try that. Halfway through adding the butter, I found my tiny food processor to be completely overwhelmed by the job so I did the rest by hand (and ordered a grown-up size food processor as soon as the crust was in the fridge).
Was it just me or did one of those people address you as Kate?
I’ve made apple, pecan and pumpkin pie. The one time I made blueberry pie, it looked amazing but the filling never jelled ( or is it gelled?). I thought it would firm up and took it in the car with me. We came to a stop sign and I had blueberry goop all over my shirt. I was holding the pie tin on a cookie sheet on my lap for “safety.”
Now that I think about it, that was the last pie I made.
I have a food processor but when I make my pie crust in it, no matter how little I pulse, it gets too soft and gooey so I make it by hand.
This is a little silly, but today is Pi day. March 14, 3.14. My friends and I get together today and eat pie. So happy Pi day and congrats on your pie.

Yeah… they did. I was going to correct them, but then I figured, why bother?
My filling was pretty gooey, even though it had flour AND cornstarch in it.
Also, either gel or jell are acceptable spellings. Who knew?
