Summer Blueberry Pie


This is practically a no-bake pie, as it doesn't go into the oven once you've filled it with the berries. This leaves the blueberries firm and sweet, but not syrupy, and the pie is light and delicious, and gentle on the palate. With the addition of a little whipped cream, this is a perfect summer desert.

Ingredients
2 T cornstarch
2 T & 1 C water
1 C & 4 C of fresh blueberries (frozen will not do)
3/4 C sugar
1 pre-baked pie crust (yours, or your local grocery store's)

Directions
In a bowl , dissolve cornstarch and water and set aside.
In a saucepan , boil 1 cup of blueberries with 1 cup water, pressing fruit to make puree
Add sugar and the dissolved cornstarch and boil 5min or until mixture becomes a clear syrup. Remove from heat and add 4 cups of blueberries.
Pour berry mixture into 1 pie crust baked and refrigerate for 2 hrs before serving
Garnish with whipped cream or ice cream
