simple, very blueberry flavored pie
I am pretty much a purist when it comes to fruit pies; I don't add cream or anything else to dilute the wonderful berry flavors. I do mix different fruits in a pie; however, in different recipes. If you are using a 9" pie dish, cut back the berries to 4 cups and reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup, and use only 3 tablespoons of corn starch.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
One bite of this scrumptious blueberry pie and your taste buds will be happy. If you're a blueberry lover, then this recipe is for you. Inside a flaky, golden brown crust, the filling is sweet and bursting with fresh blueberries. Top it off with a big dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a wonderful summertime dessert. Fantastic!

How To Make simple, very blueberry flavored pie
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. You can use my pie crust recipe or any boxed or frozen pie crusts. Roll out the bottom crust and put it in a sprayed 10' deep pie dish. Roll out the top crust, set aside.
-
Step 2In a small bowl, add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and corn starch, and mix well.
-
Step 3In a larger bowl, add the blueberries. They can be frozen berries, but you have to measure them out first, then microwave them until thawed. Mix in the lemon or lime juice. Now stir in the sugar/corn starch mixture. Mix well.
-
Step 4Pour into the pie dish crust.
-
Step 5Place butter on the berries. Put the top crust on, cut, crimp the edge, and cut in the vent holes. If you want to use a lattice top, cut the strips and weave them on the top, and crimp.
-
Step 6I sometimes add an egg wash or butter with a little sugar on the top crust.
-
Step 7Place on the middle shelf in a preheated 450 degree F oven for 15 minutes.
-
Step 8Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and put on a shield.
-
Step 9Bake for another 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
