For Chanukah this year I got a square pie dish and a cherry pitter. I had been on a quest for a pitter, but wasn't going to pay over $10 for it. It's a cherry pitter; in retrospect of how much it meant to me and the realization that I wouldn't have lost a cherry season, I should have bought it.
The person that got the fabulous duo for me was coming into town from Baltimore, with her baby son. I had to pull out all the stops, and bring my best. This called for blueberry pie. I still had a stash of berries I had picked in the summer - I was hoping it was enough to fill the pie. The recipe? The standard crust, with a filling I threw together - flour and sugar, Blueberries I picked from Bryant's.
