Beth Howard's Blueberry Pie

Lately I have been on such an apple pie binge, thought it was time for a change.  I was at my local Krogers and saw the blueberries and a new adventure was born.  Now to find a good recipe that used blueberries.  That is when I opened Beth Howards' Ms. American Pie cookbook.   I love her book (and her blog!) and have made several of her pies, each one delicious!!  (You have to try her Sweet Potato pie - out of this world!!!).  This recipe looked so easy and didn't require a major run to the grocery store.

For this recipe, I used the pie dough recipe in the Apple Pie with Golden Raisins recipe I made a week or two ago.  Here is the link:  Pie Dough Recipe

Blueberry Pie by Beth Howard

Pie Filling:

3 pints fresh blueberries
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425

Prepare your pie dough (make sure it is enough for a double crust)

To make the filling, combine the berries, sugar and cornstarch.  Make sure they are evenly coated.

Pour into prepared pie shell.  Dot with butter.

Add top pie crust.  I did mine as a lattice because I love how lattice pies look. 

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.  Reduce temperature to 375 and bake another 25 to 30 minutes.

Cool on a rack.

Comments:

My resident "pie expert" (aka my husband) LOVED the pie.  He thought this blueberry pie was better than the last one.  I thought it was a bit too runny but it was really good with ice cream (ok, almost everything is good with ice cream!!).  Since he loved this so much, I see this pie in my future again.  It is really a very good tasting pie.
