Classic Summer Recipe: Blueberry Pie — Recipes from The Kitchn

Classic Summer Recipe: Blueberry Pie

In the pantheon of summertime pies, blueberry pie is right up there at the top. A good one should be packed to the brim with plump roly-poly berries, the flaky and buttery crust barely able to contain the jewel-like bounty. It should need only a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to finish it off. Here is our recipe for a classic blueberry pie — no frills, no secret ingredients, just blueberries in all their summery glory.

slow-and-low dry rub oven chicken

Five years ago, I fell in love with dry-rub barbecue. Prior to the summer of 2008, I naively believed that the only way to make ribs deliciously on the grill was to mop it with copious amounts of a wet, tomato-based barbecue sauce. I know, I know, silly Deb, but what can you really expect from a Yankee?

Under my friend Molly’s tutelage, I learned the error of my ways. The thing is, no matter how unappealing the word “dry” may sound against meat of any sort, the results are anything but. While a wet sauce just wants to roll off your meat, the dry rub spices adhere themselves to it, almost crusting in the meltingly tender meat within as it cooks slow-and-low over a the grill, and losing none of its punch, no matter how long it cooks. You might have some barbecue sauce around when you’re done as a dip for the meat, but in general, there’s so much flavor from that spice crust, you probably won’t need it.

Cooking with Heart — Weekend Meditation

In cooking, like in many things in life, there’s technique and then there’s heart. One is driven by dedication and discipline and the other by the desire to connect and express love.
