"Fresh blueberry pie is one of my seasonal favorites. Be sure to use fresh blueberries, not frozen. I also use the Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crusts to save time." - Tara
"My grandmother was a wonderful cook and this is one of my favorite pies that she made." - Patsy
"Seriously, I think this is the best Cherry Pie. The cherry filling is tart and slightly sweet. The crust is light and flaky. If you’re so inclined, I was, top it with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream." - Paula
"Peaches are yummy in the summer and are especially good when they're in a pie. Linda's fresh peach pie was so easy to make. The peaches are tender and the filling is creamy. We loved the added flavor of the hint of cinnamon. Top with a scoop of ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream and you have a wonderful summertime dessert." - The Kitchen Crew
"The best thing about this recipe is that it's not very hard to make at all." - Shannon
"Passed down over years, you can use almost any fruits for this pie. Tastes like you're eating summer. I have used regular pie crust and ready-made, but the cookie crust in the recipe works best." - Betsy
"Bring on the smiles when you present them with this beautiful peach pie. It is bursting with sweet peaches and a nutty, crunchy topping." - Laurie
"Strawberries and rhubarb is one of those classic flavour combinations and with good reason. The tart rhubarb goes really well with strawberries and I could not let the summer go by without making at least one thing with them." - Kevin
"This pie is awesome, part of my Mom's recipe and an idea from a bakery I ate at. You have the blueberry in a creamy paste, then whole blueberries, then chunks of fresh rhubarb. Sweet crunch blueberries, slightly tangy rhubarb - a great partnership. Covered with freshly whipped cream....think you'll love it." - FH
"Quick and easy! One of my favorites :-)" - Rose
"I can't remember where I got this recipe from, but it is so easy and refreshing. A great pie for the summer months." - Karen
"This is a really simple old-fashioned pie recipe. We loved the addition of sour cream to the filling. It makes the blueberry filling creamy, almost custard-like. The topping is sugary and crunchy... perfect for this easy pie." - The Kitchen Crew
"We love strawberry lemonade at our house in the summer. But lately, I have been craving lemon pie (my favorite). So while working up some strawberries I thought it might be fun to make a lemon strawberry pie. I guessed my way through this as I have never seen a recipe for this combination. We really liked the result and I hope you will too." - Judy
"We can see why this is a champion cherry pie. It is sweet and tart, with a soft oozing cherry center... just heavenly. The golden and flaky crust is also pretty easy to make." - The Kitchen Crew
"I started the pie off with a simple shortbread crust filled with lemon zest and poppy seeds and I filled it with a quick and easy lemon ricotta no-bake cheesecake sweetened with honey. The pie is finished off with a floral-like arrangement of fresh sliced strawberries along with a garnish of mint and lemon zest." - Kevin
"A summer favorite in my family!" - Lisa
"Strawberries and chocolate on top make this an extra elegant dish that bursts with flavor. This dessert is very impressive. No need to tell your friends and family how easy it is to make." - The Kitchen Crew
"This is a delicious blend of two of my favorite summer fruits, blueberries and rhubarb! You can make your crust extra pretty if you use small cookie cutters to cut the second pie crust into shapes, and lay them across the top of the pie." - Terrie
"This is a great summertime recipe. It is a cold pie. The ginger ale gives a bit of a kick! If you're a strawberry lover, try this!" - Rachel
"Mmmmmm if you like strawberries and peaches - you will love this!" - Jacklyn
