Source of Recipe


USA Weekend


List of Ingredients




1 recipe for As-Easy-as-It-Gets Pie Dough

Blueberry Filling:
5 cups (about 2 1/2 pints) fresh blueberries, picked over and stems discarded, rinsed
3/4 cup plus 2 Tbs. sugar
Pinch salt
1/4 cup potato starch or potato flour
1/2 cup water
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1 Tb. butter, cut into small pieces
1 egg white, beaten, for pastry wash
1 1/2 Tbs. granulated sugar

Recipe



Make pie dough according to directions.

Purée 1 cup of the blueberries in a food processor fitted with the metal blade; set aside.

Whisking constantly, bring the sugar, salt, starch and water to a very thick paste over medium-low heat in a large saucepan. As mixture thickens and starts to stick to pan bottom, whisk in blueberry purée and lemon zest and bring to a simmer. Pour thickener over remaining blueberries and stir to combine.

Pour blueberry filling into bottom pie shell and dot with the 1 Tb. butter. Cover with top layer of pastry dough, and continue to follow directions for Perfect Peach Pie, adding the beaten egg wash and sugar when indicated.

Serves 8.
