How To Make blueberry refrigerator pie
-
Step 1Melt 6 Tbsp. butter; mix with wafer crumbs. Press onto bottom and up side of a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10 minutes or until golden.

Step 2In a saucepan, bring 1-1/2 cups blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 Tbsp. cold water to a boil, stirring constantly. Dissolve cornstarch in 3 Tbsp. of the remaining cold water; whisk into the blueberry mixture. Simmer over low heat for 2 minutes or until thickened, sitrring constantly.

Step 3Remove from heat; add reserved butter; stir until melted. Reserve 1/2 tsp. lemon zest and 1 tsp. juice. Stir remaining juice and zest into the blueberry mixture. Pour into crust.

Step 4In a medium bowl, add boiling water to Jello mix; stir for 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Add enough ice to remaining cold water to measure 1 cup. Add to the Jello and stir until slightly thickned. Remove any unmelted ice.
