We went blueberry picking last weekend and brought home over 4 pounds of blueberries. In order to use them up so they don't go bad, I decided to make a blueberry pie! It didn't take too long and wasn't much work.
First we had to separate out the smaller blueberries (since we picked two kinds), since they're more tart and better to bake with. Then I mixed sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon together with 4 cups of blueberries. I put that in a thawed, pre-made pie crust and since I only had one pie crust, I had to make a different topping that I'd never made before. It was a combination of flour, sugar, and butter. It wasn't enough to completely cover the berries, but just enough to have a crumbly sugary topping. We baked it for an hour and it was delicious! I like it even more than the blueberry cobbler I made a few weeks ago. I'll definitely have to make blueberry pies more often. In fact, we should make it an annual tradition go blueberry picking in North Bend and then make blueberry pies every summer! We still have a lot of blueberries left. Maybe we'll make some fruit smoothies or just eat them with ice cream or I guess I could make another pie!
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.
