Blueberry pie recipe
- 150 g (5.3oz) sugar
- 2.5 tbsp cornflour
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
- 160 ml (5.6fl oz) water
- 600 g (21.2oz) fresh blueberries
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
- 10 inch pie crust, blind-baked and cooled
- If you want to use ready-made pie crust, feel free!
- Why exhaust yourself making pie dough?
- However, you should use fresh blueberries and real butter.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt and cinnamon.
- Blend in water and 225g blueberries.
- Bring to a boil and smash half the berries (a wooden spoon or an oldfashion potato masher does the trick).
- Continue to stir constantly until mixture is very thick, a minute or so.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, butter, lemon juice and lemon zest.
- You must let this cool before proceeding.
- If you're in a hurry, you can cool the filling quicker by submerging the bottom of the pan in a bowl of ice and water while stirring.
- Fold in 375g blueberries, coating them well.
- Scoop into a cooled baked pie shell.
- Arrange remaining cup of fresh berries over top.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
- To serve, remove pie from refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
