For the Filling

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) of margarine or butter
  • 1 1/2 cups of sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoons of salt
  • 9 cups of fresh blueberries, picked over for stems
  • 3/4 cups of brandy or watter

For the Crust

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) or margarine or butter, softened
  • 3/4 cups of sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoons of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups of apple or pineapple juice or milk

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. To prepare the filling, melt the margarine in a medium-sized saucepan over a medium fire. Stir in the sugar, flour, and salt and mix well. Add the blueberries and water, stir, and heat thoroughly for about five minutes.

Pour the mixture into a buttered deep 9x12-inch casserole dish and set aside.
