Blueberry Cherry Pie
Yumtastic tastefest. What I really like about this pie is how the blueberries fit perfectly into your pitted cherries. After tossing them around for a bit I found that the blueberries made their way snuggly into the cherries. I picked one up and popped it into my mouth and woo dawgy flavor explosion. As you'll notice the top crust is an odd shape of blue and red. Today is the Final of the Champions League in Rome where FC Barcelona will battle it out against Manchester United. I wanted to bake a pie to celebrate this occasion and the soon to be new Champions FC Barcelona WHEN they win. I tried to make the strips to represent the Barcelona colors but it did not work. Doesn't matter though because now I know. Visca Barça!!!
