Dan, Duane and I went blueberry picking on Sunday, just before heading back to NH. We got just over 7 cups of fresh berries in no time, thanks to antique blueberry rakes hiding out in the shed. Dan's first request for berry use was pie. Having never made a blueberry pie before (can't stand blueberries, personally) here's the recipe, just so i can't lose it. (ETA: Dan liked the pie. Guess the recipe is a keeper!)
5 C blueberries (fresh or frozen)
5 T sugar
4T flour
juice of half a lemon and a little lemon zest
1t cinnamon
1/4t nutmeg (really just a couple of shakes...didn't measure at all)
by rights there should have been a little butter under the crust, but i forgot it...
I used frozen pie shells, mixed everything together, dumped it in the crust, covered it, cut vents, sprinkled with sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
The end!
