Domestic Diva: Fresh Blueberry Pie


A few weeks ago, I was asked to make a few pies for an event at church. In addition to a chocolate pie, I tried out church-friend Libby's recipe for fresh blueberry pie. This is so easy and so good! I can't wait to try it with other fresh fruits this summer....peaches, strawberries, blackberries.....mmmm!

Fresh Blueberry Pie

In a 1-1.5 quart saucepan, bring to a boil:
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
After sugar is dissolved, add 1 cup blueberries.
Cook for 1-2 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix together
1/4 cup cold water
2 heaping tablespoons cornstarch OR
5 tablespoons flour
Mix well, then remove sugar/berry syrup from heat and add thickening.
Return to heat and cook for about 2 minutes or until thick.
Remove from heat and add 3 cups fresh blueberries.
Cool, then add to baked pie shell.
