Today is National Blueberry Day!

Like other fruit-filled pies, blueberry pie can be traced back to the early settlers of the United States. The Pilgrims brought the basic idea of pie to the states, adapting the recipes from savory and meat versions to desserts with the addition of fruit. Blueberries and other fruits were readily available, allowing fruit pies to be created easily and often served at each meal.
