BLUEBERRY PIE
3 pints blueberries - cleaned and stems removed or frozen
2 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 c sugar (I use a mixture of brown and white)
1/4 t cinnamon
2 T butter, cut up
A double pie crust (I don't have time to post the recipe - so use your recipe or just buy the canned or frozen version).
Mix the ingredients together in a bowl and then place in the bottom crust. Top with the cut up butter and then carefully place the top crust over and crimp or use a fork to seal the edges. Slice a pretty star shape on the top with a knife or fork to let steam escape. Bake at 425 for 20 minutes and then lower the temperature to 350 for another 30-40 minutes.
Let cool and serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
*Note*
I've listed this recipe on here before but I want to add some notes to this one. You can ALWAYS 'play around' with a recipe and add and delete on a whim. I wanted to let you know what I do to perk this one up sometimes.
- lemon rind
- orange rind
- ginger
- all brown sugar, no white
- a little rum or rum extract
I've used all of the above at one time or another. Just a light sprinkle of one or two of them together really brings out some flavor in this pie.
