Blueberry Pie

Blueberry Pie
Blueberry Pie
A crumbly pie-crust and a luscious filling!
We went to a berry patch close to home with our friends and some berries did we pick, before I knew it we had 8 boxes brimming with blueberries and 2 with raspberries – came home feeling hot, but extremely triumphant knowing we had hand-picked organic berries and that we were going to make a pie with it – ELATION was what me and my daughter who loves to bake were feeling – Washing and drying the berries took forever but once that was out of the way, we thought of simple recipes for the pie, and egg-less ones considering my sweet sibling who were visiting and she absolutely does not have eggs –
Blueberry Pie
the Pyrex glass is see through
I resorted to my cornstarch and decided to make phyllo dough my pie base! Turned out great and accolades from all – My lovely daughter was my sweet helper for this pie and I hope to have many more sessions with her before the summer is through!
INGREDIENTS
1 pack of phyllo dough
2lbs of blueberries washed thoroughly and dried
1tbsp of water
3/4 cup of honey
3/4 cup of cane sugar
2 tbsp of corn starch
1tsp cardamom ( I clearly prefer cardamom to cinnamon and almost always substitute the latter for the former)
3 tbsp butter
Blueberry Pie
These beauties are washed and ready to go
Blueberry Pie
cook the berries
Blueberry Pie
line the pan with layers of phyllo
Blueberry Pie
Pour the filling
Blueberry Pie
Make the lattice strips – remember to trim the jagged edges with kitchen shears
PREPARATION
Set oven to 350
In a pan heat add the blueberries
They almost immediately start breaking down
Add the honey and sugar and stir in
Once the blueberries get cooked and are mushy, mix cornstarch in 1 tbsp warm water and slowly dribble over the simmering blueberries and watch it thicken quickly! Remove the filling from flame
Grease a 9 inch pan
Place 2- sheets at a time up to 6 or 8 sheets, brushing them with butter as you go along
Pour the blueberries over the layers of phyllo
Cut several thin strips of phyllo dough and place in a lattice design over the pie filling
Place in oven and cook for 40-45 minutes or until the crust starts becoming golden.
  
NOTE: keep a damp paper towel by you as you layer the phyllo and press over them so they do not dry out – Freeze any remaining dough since they get fungus quite quickly!
Blueberry Pie
Get a piece of the action :)

Cool the pie, cur and enjoy by itself or with a yummy scoop of ice-cream

    I think this is a must try pie as this pie can be had with out guilt. Loved your idea of using phyllo sheets and next time I too will try cardamom in place of cinnamon.

    I love Blueberries. This pie is a great idea to enjoy them whole. Especially, when we have it in abundance like picking from a farm. :-)
