Where's My Pie?



Well we got our blueberries washed and dried and frozen and put into freezer bags for future enjoyment! I got 8 bags to be exact! we will sure enjoy muffins, pancakes and of course PIE over the Fall and Winter months! Nothing like a fresh Blueberry pie for Thanksgiving!
In all my excitement over posting a picture of the pie we made last week I FORGOT to snap a shot of it baked......haha It was golden brown with a crackly crispy topping oozing sweet juice over the sides! so you will just have to be enticed by this photo right before it hit the oven and make your own!
BLUEBERRY PIE
1 recipe for a single crust OR Pillsbury ready made crusts in the cold case where you buy biscuits in the can etc.
3/4 C. Sugar
1/3 C. flour
2 ts. finely shredded lemon peel (if you have it)
1 T. lemon juice
5 C. fresh or frozen blueberries
  1. Prepare and roll out crust.
  2. In a large mixing bowl stir together the sugar, flour, lemon peel, and lemon juice. Add blueberries, toss gently. Let frozen berries sit about 15 minutes until partially thawed.
  3. Pour berry mixture into crust.
  4. Crumb topping: Stir together 1/2 C. flour, 1/2 C. brown sugar, and 3 T. cold butter. Cut together with hand held pastry blender or 2 knives. (Can also use food processor)
  5. Sprinkle crumbs over top of pie, spreading in even layer.
  6. Place pie on a cookie sheet with a layer of foil under it to catch the drips.
  7. Cover edges of pie with foil for 30 mins. on 375. Remove foil and bake 25 mins. longer (30-35 if using frozen berries).
  8. COOL, AND ENJOY WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM!
