It’s 1AM & I barely finished baking my pie using your crust & blueberry pie recipe. & lemme just say... I am OBSESSED. It’s flavorful & the crust is perf! I’ve been on the hunt for a good recipe for a while & came across your channel. THANK GOD I DID! I just subscribed because you explain things so well & I absolutely love your energy! Definitely looking forward to trying more of your recipes 💛

lol it's 1AM and I am baking apple pie, this video just happens to play as bake :D

[@kathycross9891]

I made your blueberry pie and pie crust yesterday as it was my husband's birthday. What a hit!! It is delicious!! Thank you for all you do. We love your channel!! I took a pic of it and wish I could share it. It was beautiful!

[@mary-patroberts5523]

My mother died a few years ago and she was known for her great meals and wonderful pies. Your love of butter makes me smile and topping your pies with milk and egg wash. As most of the world, I am on self isolating except for a walk in the coulees with my dog. Tired when I got home I tuned in to utube and watched your video on pie crusts and blueberry pie. Thanks, you brought wonderful memories and the smell of great cooking from my Mom and Grandmother as if it was only yesterday. You brightened your viewers day.

[@RonPaulgirls]

GOD ARE YOU EVER DUMB.......MILK AND EGGS ARE NOT EXACTLY HEALTH FOODS...NOT FOR THE CHICKENS AND COWS KILLED.......AND NOT FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOUR MOTHER WHO PROBABLY DIED FROM THOSE KINDS OF FOOD.....GET REAL MORON

[@catbirdler]

@@RonPaulgirls you are just a nasty and pathetic subhuman to ruin someone's happy memories with your stupid screaming insults. Are you vegan? Have a little bit of respect for other people's food choices. FYI the sugar and empty carbs (flour) in the pie will kill you long before a spoonful or two of milk and egg in the wash ever will. Oh by the way, are you aware that the pie crust in the video is literally made with milk, butter and egg wash? And that Joe claims those are the KEY ingredients for an outstanding crust? Are you gonna call Joe a dumb moron now? This isn't a health food channel. Maybe you should go play in a different sandbox, you obviously don't belong here.

​@@Cookingitalianwithjoewhy do you talk so much?

[@rwatts2155]

Hey Joe! Great videos....FYI, lemon juice is added to the blueberries when cooking them for flavor, yes, but the acid in the lemon juice also helps to release / develop the natural pectin in the berries. The pectin and the corn starch or tapioca flour will help keep the juices from the berries from being runny. Always add the vanilla after you remove the berries from heat. Let the cooked berries cool down before you add the vanilla as the vanilla is VERY delicate and the heat will destroy it. Thanks for sharing your expertise and videos with all of us...

[@cherylhee9762]

Good to know!

[@becky8233]

I never knew this.... Thank you

[@ELW2940]

That’s not the case with the pecan pies I bake every Thanksgiving and Christmas. The vanilla extract and my secret ingredient are added with the eggs and corn syrup and sugar and stick of melted butter and baked. Not any way to add the vanilla at any other point of preparation. The only thing that cooks off is the alcohol in the extracts, not the flavor of the main ingredient. Important to bake away the alcohol so it doesn’t add an undesirable taste to the pies. Thought everybody knew that.

[@rwatts2155]

@@ELW2940 I don't believe in "secret ingredients". I'm always more than happy to share my recipes in full and to share my experience / knowledge as well as learn from other people's experiences and expertise. Nobody knows it all. Yes, liquor cooks off at 172 degrees. Everybody knows that. Vanilla extract IS alcohol. The vanilla bean is soaked in alcohol...some use rum, others use Vodka, I use Everclear. The natural vanilla extract is used ( at the end of the mixing or cooking to preserve the flavor in custards and cakes. Foods that bake at higher temps such as cookies, etc. It's generally considered advisable to use the artificial vanilla extract because the flavor doesn't dissipate as easily as with natural vanilla extract. Check it out.

[@kathyberken5755]

Excellent recipe and technique! I will try the egg wash inside the bottom crust. Never thought of cooking the berries first, so I might try that, and also add the nutmeg. I do prefer using tapioca instead of cornstarch, because that's how my mother baked pies. The ancestors came from Germany, so pies were a big deal! I sprinkled the top with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Otherwise, your recipe looks fantastic. Including the pie crust, which I saw earlier. Wondering why you used unsalted butter. You don't have any salt in the berry mixture. I think a little salt would also bring out the flavor.

[@judymohre1430]

Amazing, so glad I found your channel! I subscribed, and I'm part ITALIAN. My mother's father, Antonio Giacovelli was from Bari. I taught both my daughter and son to bake and cook when they were small children. Barely out of diapers. They both love to cook and now are passing on the tradition. And the sugar on top of this great teaching lesson was playing Volara at the end. My mother's FAVORITE SONG. It brought tears to my eyes. I miss her every day. She made the most amazing strawberry glaze pie, coconut cream, lemon pie, banana cream pie, strudel, ..her crust to was fabulous. Coffee cakes all good Italian and French was her forte...on and on and on. Oh, almost forgot to tell you her merrange. SPELLING was the highest I've ever seen. She was French and Italian descent. A very beautiful and talented woman. A talented designer of clothing..only for her daughter's and granddaughters, and an amazing impressions artist. 💌🎀💌 I make my crust like you do although now I will add the milk instead of cold, cold water. Thank you so much.

[@ovenbird50]

I love what lemon does to blueberries, and I also always add a dash of freshly gerated nutmeg to any blueberry recipe, so I would add about a half teaspoon of nutmeg. I always grate nutmeg right into the liquid or the batter because the flavor notes I like are so volotile that they are quickly lost in the air. No mis en place for nutmeg in my kitchen.

[@bridgesart]

When he was at the stove, he added the nutmeg-his “secret ingredient.”

[@DRthistle]

Me too. In just about any fruit pie especially apple. Also and/or Mace which is derived from the dried lacy coating of the nutmeg seed. Mace seems to be less pungent but equally exotic and flavorful.

[@gramgramsgrandkids741]

oh yeh, i love the explanations you give. it makes so much more sense when you know why you should do something.

[@NancyBJM]

Looks like a terrific recipe. Just one thing: I've lived in Italy for 36 years and have never seen anyone bake a pie but me (and my children). Pie is American, as far as I know, but definitely delicious, and your recipe for both the crust and the filling look super.

[@rossmcintyre1710]

Pies aren’t Italian. Nor are blueberries. Using Italian cooking traditions is great, but it ain’t Italian food.

[@NancyBJM]

@@rossmcintyre1710 We do have blueberries. I find them in the mountains. You can also find them in supermarkets, but they are pricey. It is much more common to use berries and other fruit in "crostate." The term "pie" has to be explained every time, in my experience.

I've made a couple blue berry pies and this inspires me to do it again. One recipe suggested adding fresh berries after the first ones have been cooked which adds a bit of a pop. My mother made delectible crusts with lard. I'm sure you'll hold me in distain, but I find the commerical crusts are pretty tasty and save a lot of time and I will try using an egg wash on the bottom. Your enthusism is half the joy of your videos. thahks.

Yes, my mother also used a mixture of lard and butter. I would think maybe add in the lard for a savoury pie and butter for a sweet one?

[@judycardenas4681]

Great show about pie. Ovens can be contrary and I learned a little trick to help the browning. Since gravity brings the juices to the bottom crust, it can become soggy. If for the first half to three quarters of the bake time you cook the pie on the lowest rack, it browns an cooks well before the juice soaks in. Then it stays flaky and delicious. I cant wait to try the milk and egg to make a crust. Thanks for the lesson.
