BLUE'S BLUEBERRY PIE

 My favorite fruit in a pie and pie making simplified!  The filling is cooked on the stove top and poured into a baked crust.

Ingredients:

1 9" baked pie crust

1 quart large blueberries

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup water

3 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon lemon juice

whipped cream or whipped topping

*

Directions:

Wash berries. Set aside 3 cups. Combine remaining berries with sugar and 3/4 cup water in saucepan, bring to a simmer. Blend cornstarch, salt, lemon juice and 1/4 cup water to a smooth paste. Add to mixture in a pan, cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Stir hot mixture into uncooked berries, stir gently, just enough to mix. Turn into baked pastry crust. Chill 3 hours. Serve with whipped topping.

A summertime pie that won't heat the kitchen!
