Summer Fresh Blueberry Pie
You've probably seen those “Summer Strawberry” pies, with whole strawberries bathed in a glistening strawberry glaze. This pie pulls the same trick with fresh blueberries and a blackberry/raspberry glaze.
A hint of cinnamon provides a note of complexity to the result.
Exceptionally easy to make, this barely qualifies as 'baking'. Just prepare the store-bought pie crust according to directions, and the "hard part" is over. Of course, you could always use your own home-made crust if you like.
Ingredients:
(For the glaze)
1 1/2 Cups Water
1 Cup granulated Sugar
1/4 Cup Corn Starch
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 Pkg Blackberry Fusion Jello (or other raspberry or blackberry gelatin)
(For the pie)
1 9-inch deep dish pie crust (store bought, ready to bake)
3 to 3 1/2 Cups fresh Blueberries
1 Tablespoon granulated Sugar
1 Teaspoon Ceylon ground Cinnamon
Directions:
Rinse and pick over the blueberries. Drain, and place the blueberries in a large bowl. Sprinkle on 1 Tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Toss to coat them all. Let stand at least an hour for the sugar to draw out a bit of the juice, and to season and sweeten the berries.
While the berries are standing, bake the empty pie crust (blind bake) according to the package directions. Allow to cool to near-room temperature.
Pour all glaze ingredients EXCEPT the jello/gelatin into a 4 Cup or larger microwave-safe bowl. Whisk until cornstarch and sugar are mostly dissolved. Microwave on high for about a minute and a half. Whisk/stir to distribute heat. Microwave again and repeat (CAUTION – After the second heating, this mixture will be VERY hot and tend to cling when it splashes!)
Watch the heating after the second time. About the second or third heating, the mixture will begin to bubble and change from milky-white to translucent. Stop heating it at that point. Stir it one more time.
Add the box of Jello/gelatin to the hot sugar-cornstarch mixture and stir thoroughly.
Place the blueberries into the baked pie shell. Reserve a few for garnish later, if you wish. If there is liquid at the bottom of the blueberries, DON'T poor it into the pie crust (the crust will get soggy).
If there is any liquid in the bottom of the bowl, mix that into the hot gelatin mixture. Pour the jello/gelatin glaze over the berries until they are all covered (you may have some left over, depending on how many berries and how deep your pie shell is).
Carefully place pie in the refrigerator and chill until it sets up (At least 2 hours).
Garnish with whipped cream topped with any extra berries.
Sugar-free Version
For those trying to cut calories or reduce sugar in their diet, this pie can also be made with sugar-free gelatin and Sucralose (Splenda) sweetener. Vargr has confirmed success with a 'triple-berry' version.
Simply substitute sugar-free Jello/gelatin for the regular sort.
Substitute granulated Sucralose (splenda) for the sugar, one-for-one in measurement.
Variations
This pie works very well with other berries, such as strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, etc. As mentioned above, a 3-berry combination of raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry tastes fantastic! Raspberry gelatin was used to flavor the glaze for that.
Of course, you would want to match your gelatin flavor to your berry filling.
This should also work very well for fresh sliced peaches!
Experiment and have fun!
