Fresh Blueberry Pie

Ingredients

4 cups blueberries, rinsed and dried 2 tablespoons cornstarch 2 tablespoons water 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup sugar (1/3 cup if the blueberries are sweet) 2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 pinch salt

1 1/2 cups whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

Measure out 1 cup of the blueberries, choosing the softest ones. Place them in a medium saucepan together with the 1/2 cup water. Cover and bring them to a boil.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and the remaining 2 tablespoons of water. Set it aside.
When the water and blueberries have come to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, stirring constantly for 3 to 4 minutes or until the blueberries start to burst and the juices begin to thicken. Stirring constantly, add the cornstarch mixture, the sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Simmer for a minute or until the mixture becomes translucent. Immediately remove it from the heat and quickly fold in the remaining 3 cups of blueberries.
Spoon the mixture into the baked pie shell and allow to sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving. When set, the berries will remain very juicy but will not flow out of the crust.
Serve with whipped cream if desired.
This pie can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.2.6wk_bootstrap();
