YUM: Blue (whale) Berry Pie

The other day I had to drop off a tea pot set to a women who had put it on hold at the art show. She thanked me with a bundle of corn, blueberries and tomatoes fresh from the farmers market in New Brunswick. Raw blueberries aren't my favorite...so I turned them into a pie. It was pretty, YUM, and simple to make. I used Jiffy pie crust mix from a box -- so all I needed to do was add water and roll into dough.
