blueberry pie

(originally posted dec 4, 2011)

it was my dear celiac suz’ birthday a few weeks ago, so her and her boy came over for a gluten-free vegetarian dinner. gawd we can be hard to cook for!

BUT, one thing everyone can agree on is PIE.

i am not much for making homemade pastry, but my local planet organic sells gluten-free pie shells, and aside from that it’s my trusty blueberry pie recipe!!

for some reason i didn’t really take any pictures of the process on this one - but it’s quite straightforward!!

ingredients:

1 pie shell
1/4 c corn starch
3/4 c sugar
1/4 t salt
1/2 t cinnamon
4 c blueberries

to make:

thaw your pie shell.

combine corn starch, sugar, salt and cinnamon in a big bowl, then add blueberries (*i used frozen - measure them frozen, then thaw them, and include the liquid*). mix everything up really well so the blueberries are evenly coated.

pour into your pie shell.

bake at 425 for 50 minutes.

note: make sure you bake it on a cookie sheet with edges or similar. blueberry pie always seems to boil over and get blueberry goo everywhere. you don’t want that stuff baked to the bottom of your oven - trust me!
