BLUEBERRY-BLACKBERRY RUSTIC TART

Blueberry-Blackberry Rustic Tart image

My dad would always stop our car on the side of the road in Maine and say, "I smell blueberries." He had a pail ready. Then Mom would bake the wild berries in a cornmeal crust to make this homey tart. -Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida
