Blueberry Pie

Servings: 8

Notes: This recipe must be made with fresh blueberries.

Ingredients:

1 whole pie shell, 9 inch sheel
5 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon lemon juice, strained
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Prepare a 9-inch pie shell.  Bake until nicely brown in a preheated oven and cool.

2. Put 5 cups blueberries in a colander.  Run cold water over the berries, then allow them to drip.  Place paper toweling on the kitchen table and gently spread berries into a single layer so they all may be seen.  Pick off all stems and discard any bruised berries.  

3.     Add the uncooked berries, mixing them thoroughly with the cooked mixture.  Pour into pie shell.  Smooth top with a rubber spatula.

4.     Cool to room temperature, but do not put in refrigerator.  When the pie has cooled, it will have set.  It will then be easy to cut into serving pieces with a pie server and a knife.
