The foundation of any good pie is the crust, and vodka crusts work. It is chemistry, vodka burns off quicker than regular water (the 50% alcohol content evaporates quicker) and inhibits the formation of gluten in the crust (which makes a crust tough). The result, a crispier flaky crust. I would also substitute lard for vegetable shortening. It is healthier (really it is) and it makes a far better crust.
Then go with a fresh filling (blueberries are still available fresh and delicious).
