Freshest Blueberry Pie by CK
1 9-inch single crust
4 cups blueberries
⅔ to 1-½ cups sugar to taste
¼ cup cornstarch
1 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
Bake pie crust per package directions.
Pour ⅔ cup sugar, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan. Mix until smooth.
Add 1-½ cups blueberries and cook over medium heat, about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until mixture is thick and semitransparent. Stir in lemon juice, then butter. Turn off the stove. Let the mix in the saucepan cool off. Stir in the remaining fresh blueberries.Taste, and add more sugar to taste, if necessary.
Pour into baked pie shell and chill until firm.
Serve with sweetened, vanilla-flavored whipped cream.
Tip: Don’t forget to let the saucepan cool a little, or the fresh berries will cook and get all syrupy like grocery-store pies.
