Tips, hints and helps: For thick blueberry pie, if using frozen berries, partially thaw and toss the berries with the flour and sugar, then pour into the crust.  The pie needs to bake a little longer than recipe states.  Watch for the juice bubbling through the slits in the crust.  Also to avoid runny pie, cool it completely before serving; this gives the filling time to thicken.5-20-06
