No Bake Blueberry Pie
I got this recipe from a lady I worked with many years ago. I love the way the blueberries pop when I eat 'em. I'm a pretty hardcore chocolate person, but when it comes to pie, this is my favorite.
Here's what you do:
First you need a baked pie shell. If you're the kind of person who does yours from scratch,
then go for it. I get mine in the frozen section of Wal Marks.
Boil 1 cup water with 1 cup blueberries about a minute.
Add 3/4 cup sugar, 3 tbsp. cornstarch (dissolve it first), and 1 tbsp. lemon juice.
Boil that another minute or so till it starts to thicken up.
Take it off the heat and fold in 3 cups of blueberries, then pour into pie shell.
Chill and eat. Of course it cries out for some sort of whipped topping.
And just to let you know....yes I am a little embarassed that all my dishes have dolphins or lighthouses on them. That's what I was into 15 years ago, and it's hard to break Corelle.
You know what else it cries out for? Besides liquor? It cries out to be made with a crust made out of lemon shortbread cookies.
ReplyDeleteIt's not crying for anything anymore. I ate it.
ReplyDeleteOh - it's also crying out for cream cheese layer. Double the dairy!
