Cooking for Graduate Students & Other Beginning Kitchen Dwellers (James W. Cooper)
Recipe Introduction
You can make this delicious pie in about 5 minutes plus the baking time. Blueberries become plentiful in early summer and you might well consider freezing some, since they do not deteriorate much upon freezing and can be used to make excellent pies and sauces all year round.
1 recipe pie crust dough
1 c sugar
4 c fresh blueberries
3 Tb flour
1/2 tsp grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Recipe
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a pie pan with one of the pie crust circles, so it overlaps the edges. Prick the crust so it does not rise during baking. Add the blueberries, lemon peel, sugar, flour, salt and spices. Lay the upper crust ring on top and seal to the pie using fork tines pressed against the edge all the way around, or by pinching the edge into an alternating scallop patter. Cut off any excess crust.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the pie is bubbling. It will take a little longer if the berries were frozen. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
Buny's note: You can also substitute ready made refrigerator pie dough for the crust rather than making homemade.
