Blueberry Pie

Heteropatriarchial?
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).
