If you've never had pie made from wild blueberries before, you'll be bowled over by the intensity of this one. The light, tender crust provides a sublime foil for the deeply flavorful fruit. Take heart if you can't find fresh wild blueberries in your area—frozen ones also yield excellent results.

Cooks' note:

We like our fruit filling on the soft side. If you prefer a firmer set, increase the tapioca to 6 tablespoons.
