No Bake Blueberry Pie Using Fresh Or Frozen Blueberries Food

NO BAKE BLUEBERRY PIE (USING FRESH OR FROZEN BLUEBERRIES)

Steps:

• Combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon juice, and water in a medium saucepan. Stir together till smooth.
• Add three cups of blueberries (fresh or frozen) to the mixture. Bring to boil over med-high heat, stirring, so the blueberry mixture doesn't burn on the bottom.
• Once the blueberries have come to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook for 2 to 5 additional minutes until the blueberry mixture is nice and thick. (It should be thick like blueberry pie filling.)
• Remove from heat and cool blueberry mixture to room temperature. (I transferred my blueberries to a separate container to quicken the cooling process.)
• Stir the remaining cup of blueberries into the cooked blueberry mixture. (If using frozen blueberries, make sure they are thawed, and you'll want to strain out as much of the extra blueberry liquid as possible.)
• Transfer the blueberry mixture to the crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Serve with a dollop of your favorite whipped cream.

BLUEBERRY PIE {NO BAKE}

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add the melted butter to the graham cracker crumbs and, using a fork, mix well. You want every crumb coated in the butter as this will be the glue that holds it together.
• Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a 9-inch pie dish. Pat them flat with your hand and then use a kitchen glass to press flatter. Start at the center and work out to and up the sides. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan over low heat, add sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly drizzle in water, whisking constantly until smooth.
• Add half of the blueberries. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue cooking until thickened (about 2 minutes). Set aside to cool.
• Once cooled, fold in remaining blueberries and pour the mixture into the crust.
• Place pie in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours, or until set.
• Serve topped with whipped cream.

BLUEBERRY PIE WITH FROZEN BERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Put frozen blueberries in a pot along with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Mix gently so that the blueberries will get covered with cornstarch; the cornstarch will help to thicken the pie filling. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally so it will not burn to the bottom, about 15 minutes.
• While the pie filling is cooking, combine flour, 3/4 cup butter, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix with a fork until crumbles form. Slowly add cold water and mix until incorporated, adding more water as needed.
• Divide dough into 2 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Roll out 1 dough ball with a rolling pin into a 10-inch circle. Transfer pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edge of the pie crust with scissors and crimp the rim with your fingertips and knuckles.
• Remove pie filling from heat and pour into the pie crust. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon butter pieces on top of the filling; the butter will melt and make a thin surface over the filling that will help you weave the strips of crust for the lattice on top.
• Roll the top crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut into 1/2-inch strips with a sharp paring knife or pastry wheel. Start with the longest strips and lay the first 2 in an X in the center of the pie. Alternate horizontal and vertical strips, weaving them in an over-and-under pattern. Use the shortest strips for the edges of the lattice. Fold the ends of the lattice strips under the edge of the bottom crust and flute the crust.
• Melt 1 teaspoon butter in milk by microwaving in a microwave-safe cup in 10-second intervals. Brush over the top of the pie to get a nice golden brown crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

FRESH BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Mix the blueberries, 1/2 cup of sugar, the flour, lemon zest, lemon juice and Cassis in a large bowl. Carefully ease one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, making sure not to stretch the dough or it will shrink as the pie bakes. With a sharp knife, cut the excess dough off at the edge of the pie plate. Spoon the blueberry mixture into the pie shell, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure you include all the juices.
• Brush the edge of the crust with the egg wash. Carefully lay the second crust on top, again easing - not stretching - it onto the pie. Cut the excess dough off at the edge of the pie plate. Press the edges together with a dinner fork or crimp with your fingers. Brush the top crust with the egg wash, cut three slits for steam to escape and sprinkle with sugar.
• Place the pie on the prepared sheet pan and bake in the middle of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until the filling is very bubbly and the crust is nicely browned. Allow to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.
• Cut the butter in 1/2-inch dice and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture. Place the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and shortening and pulse 10 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Dump the dough out on a floured board and turn it into a ball. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece out on a well-floured board into a 12- to 13-inch circle, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough to make sure it doesn't stick to the board.

CONTEST-WINNING FRESH BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. On a floured surface, roll dough to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Trim and flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Line crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights. Bake on a lower oven rack until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes. Cool on a wire rack., In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt and water until smooth. Add 3 cups blueberries. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly., Remove from the heat. Add butter, lemon juice and remaining berries; stir until butter is melted. Cool. Pour into crust. Refrigerate until serving.

TOPLESS BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in water and 1 cup of blueberries. Cook and stir over medium heat, until thick, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add butter and let cool about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining blueberries.
• Pour into baked pie shell and cool in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.

BLUEBERRY CLOUD PIE (NO BAKE!)

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine marshmallows and butter. Cook and stir over medium until melted. Stir in cereal. With greased hands (I use a buttered piece of cling wrap, much easier) press mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of a pie plate. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water; stir in cold water. Refrigerate until partially set, about 1 hour.
• In a small mixing bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Fold in berries and 3 cups into gelatin mixture. Pour into crust. Refrigerate pie and remaining whipped cream up to 4 hours. Garnish with reserved cream and blueberries. Prep and cooking time include chilling.
