With summer in full swing and beautiful plump blueberries at the farmer’s market, farm stands and our local stores, I could not wait to make this pie from Taste of Home. I’m not a baker but this recipe was so easy I just had to make it! This is another great make ahead dessert. My family really enjoyed this with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream!
INGREDIENTS
9 inch pastry for a single crust pie. (I used a frozen pie crust)
3 Tablespoons all purpose flour
Pinch of salt
1 cup of water, divided
3/4 cup of sugar
6 cups fresh blueberries, divided
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Vanilla ice cream or whipped topping – optional but highly recommended!!
DIRECTIONS
Follow the pie crust directions to bake a one crust pie. You want the crust to be fully baked. In a bowl mix flour, salt, and one third cup water until smooth. In a large saucepan combine sugar, 1 cup of the blueberries and the remaining water. Bring to a boil and stir in the flour mixture, return to a boil stirring constantly. Cook another 4 – 6 minutes or until thickened. Stir in lemon juice and remaining blueberries. Pour in prepared crust. Refrigerate 4 hours or until filling is set. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Enjoy!
