You will never have soggy crusts again if you make your pie like this. You can make this and freeze it for using later. UPDATE: I just finished doing it in the microwave, so much easier than standing over a pot stirring. It took about 15 minutes, stirring after the first 5 min and every couple minutes until thick and clear looking. I added the cornstarch mixture after the first 5 minutes. Ingredients:
4 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen) |
2/3-1 cup sugar (i use 2/3 cup as we don't like our pies too sweet) |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1/4-1/3 cup cornstarch (depending on how thick you like your filling) |
1/4 cup water |
Directions:
1. In a heavy saucepan mix together blueberries, sugar and lemon juice.
2. Over medium heat bring to boil, stirring frequently.
3. Mix cornstarch with water to make a paste.
4. Pour into berry mixture, stirring constantly until thick.
5. Remove from heat and let cool.
6. You can now freeze it or use for pie.
7. Bake at 400*F for about 35 minutes.
