BLUEBERRY PIE: A RECIPE
Blueberry Pie.
Yes, that is a complete sentence.
This bit of deliciousness always makes an appearance on my holiday table. My kids (one in particular) absolutely love it. Of course, I am sure to have vanilla ice cream on hand, as it makes the warm pie simply perfect. The melted ice cream tastes oh-so-good.
The thing I love about blueberry pie is that it’s not overly sweet. But it’s also not tart. It’s somewhere in the middle….right where I like it. Although I like pie, I don’t necessarily love pie. Except for this one. It’s pretty much captured my heart.
The fun thing about taking it to a potluck or gathering is that I am always the only one with Blueberry Pie. Apple pie and Cherry pies tend to be duplicated, and I like to be a stand-alone dessert gal. I like mine to shine, to be honest.
So, at the risk of promoting myself and my pie too much, I am going to suggest that you pin this one. You will want to make it for your family and friends. It will be a hit and you will want to hug me later.
That’s a promise!
Happy baking, friends!

Instructions
- Prepare and roll out your pastry for a double-crust pie. Place half of the pastry in a 9-inch pie plate.
- Stir together the sugar, flour,lemon peel and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the blueberries and gently toss to coat. If you are using frozen berries let them stand for 30 minutes to thaw a bit.
- Transfer blueberry mixture to the pastry lined pie plate. Add the other half of the pastry to the top of your blueberries and seal the edges of your pie by crimping the top and bottom pieces together.
- Cover the edges of your pie with foil to prevent browning. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes for fresh fruit (50 minutes for frozen fruit). Remove foil. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes more (for both fresh and frozen fruit). When the top is golden, the pie is done.
- Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Be sure to serve with vanilla ice cream! ENJOY!
