Last year I wanted to make something special for my daughter’s birthday. She loves American style Blueberry pie so I did a bunch of googling and found a recipe to try. Neither of us was disappointed. The pastry was amazing as was the blueberry filling. However next time I make this pie, I’ll make sure I don’t overcook the pastry!
Here are a few pics I took of my pie.
As you can see, the pie was left in the oven a tad too long.
Ingredients:
Pie dough for top and bottom 9-inch pie, chilled
2/3 cup to 3/4 cup (130 to 150 grams) granulated sugar, adjusted according to sweetness of berries
1/4 cup (30 grams) cornstarch
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 pounds (900 grams) fresh blueberries (about 6 cups), see tips for using frozen
1 tablespoon butter, cut into small squares
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 tablespoon coarse sugar, for garnish
I used fresh blueberries and added a half a teaspoon of vanilla essence to the filling mixture. I used mixed spice (in lieu of allspice) and added a touch more cinnamon than the recipe stated and also some nutmeg (because we both love those spices!). I used cornflour (ie cornstarch in the US) and raw sugar in lieu of granulated sugar.
For the pastry dough I followed the site’s Easy All Butter Flaky Pie Crust recipe and the method to the letter. Not having a food processor I kneaded the dough by hand.
If you’re after a scrumptious dessert, I thoroughly recommend the Easy Homemade Blueberry Pie recipe from Inspired Taste. Here is the website for the full recipe with some easy to follow YouTube videos - https://www.inspiredtaste.net/23159/homemade-blueberry-pie-recipe/

Is he her enemy or her future?
When a handsome stranger arrives in a remote outback town, Maggie Hayes’ almost forgotten dreams are re-awakened. For too long, she’s denied her adventurous spirit and now suddenly her future is filled with wonderful possibilities. At least it will be if only this intriguing man isn’t her beloved town’s enemy.
A past tragedy has led Jace de Haven to live without the complications of family or companionship. Yet when he meets small-town Maggie, her big heart and vibrant community spirit show him what he’s been missing. Can he find it in his soul to forgive and allow old wounds to heal?
But to have the future they crave, Maggie and Jace will need to take a leap of faith - together.
Ooh, too bad about the burn. I'm sure the filling was still okay, though. I've never made a pie, but I don't think it's truly that hard.
ReplyDeleteIt did taste great. Thanks Liz for dropping by.
DeleteI just love blueberry pie, and other than your crust, your pie looks amazing. And unless your upper crust tasted burnt, even that works. I hope you had it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream-smile.
ReplyDeleteActually we did have ice cream. Great to see you here Erika, thank you for dropping by
DeleteA pesar de estar tostado se ve muy rico. Gracias por la receta. Y por la recomendación del libro. Te mando un beso.

First of all, I'm a great lover of blueberries (considered superfood). Sadly, we import them and they are expensive.
ReplyDeleteYour pie looks a very yummi 'piece of bakery art'. I'm sure it tastes heavenly!
It was very tastie, Duta. Blueberries can be expensive here too. I sometimes buy the frozen ones which work out to be more economical. Thank you for dropping by.

ReplyDeleteThis pie has me reminiscing on summers spent in Tennessee on my grandmas farm. I can hear the screen door slamming, see the condensation on my glass of ice tea, and taste the goodness of this blueberry pie. Even with the slightly darkened crust, I'm sure the pie was amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful memory Theresa. Thank you for commenting and dropping by.
DeleteI like the idea of a pie but but blueberry is not my fav. Although I haven't tried a blueberry pie before.

I suppose you could substitute apple for blueberry? I havent tried doing so but I do love a good apple pie too. Thanks for joining us here Melody.
DeleteI love BLUEBERRIES! Through the day while drinking water, I put orange slices and blueberries in it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great tip Pam. I'll try that this coming summer. Thank you

ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI love blueberries :) They are one of the most delicious fruits! We have them in the summer-autumn season and I gladly collect them in the forest :) your cake looks interesting, I rarely bake it myself because I rarely succeed :)
Greetings from Poland!
Wow - how fabulous that you can collect your own. Mine comes from a shop although I did have a blueberry bush in a pot that I ended up giving to my son when I moved house. Lovely to see you here on this blog Klaudia and thank you so much for dropping by.
DeleteNo suelo hacer pasteles con frutillas del bosque, pero me guardo tu receta pues en el Pirineo cogemos muchos arándanos y seguro que tu receta triunfaría. Un beso
