Perfect Blueberry Pie Filling Food

POLLY'S PERFECT BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Crust:
• Into a 9-inch pie plate, sift together the flour, sugar, and the salt. In a glass measuring cup, whisk together 1/2 cup salad oil and 3 tablespoons milk with a fork. Pour that over the flour mixture in pie plate and mix with a fork until all flour is evenly dampened. If it is still too dry to work with your hands, mix a little more oil with a little milk and add to flour mixture. With your hands press the dough evenly against the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan, allowing the excess to fall on the counter. (This will be the top crumble crust and is about 1/3 of the total crust mixture.) Sweep it into your hand and reserve in a small bowl. Crimp the edges of the bottom crust or use a fork dipped in milk to flatten the crust along the rim.
• Berry pie filling:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To the washed berries add cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon, and freshly grated nutmeg. Stir gently.
• Place the berry mixture in the bottom crust and sprinkle lemon juice over it. Then with an ordinary teaspoon, place little 1/2 teaspoons soft butter evenly over the top of the berry filling.
• Crumble the reserved crust on top of the pie.
• Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Check it after 30 minutes. If crust is getting golden but pie filling is not quite congealed, tent the pie with aluminum foil to keep crust from getting too brown.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream.

PERFECT BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup berries with 3/4 cup sugar in pan.
• Simmer on low heat until sugar is melted and mixture is very liquid; about 5 minutes.
• Combine cornstarch and water in bowl.
• Add to pan with blueberries.
• Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to full boil and is clear and thick.
• Pour hot mixture into large bowl.Cool until warm.
• Fold in remaining 3 cups of blueberries, lemon rind, cinnamon,nutmeg and butter.
• Let cool before adding to pie crust.
• Add top crust and brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar.
• Preheat oven to 400°F but reduce heat to 375°F when you put pie in oven. Bake about 40 minutes. Check pie halfway through baking; cover edges with a strip of foil if edges are getting too brown.
• This technique works for any delicate fruit such as raspberries or strawberries.

HOMEMADE BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Cook and stir 3 pints blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a saucepan with water over medium-low heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and add butter and remaining 1 pint blueberries; stir gently so blueberries stay whole. Allow to cool.

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.

BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING

BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• *This recipe nicely fills a small 9'' pie pan. If using a deeper 9'' pie pan, use 6 cups fresh blueberries and 1/2 cup tapioca flour.
• Preheat oven to 400* F.
• In a medium bowl measure berries. Pour sugar over berries and then pour tapioca over sugar. Sprinkle the zest on and drizzle around the lemon juice. Stir gently to begin to coat the berries without crushing them. Let the berry-sugar mixture rest for 15 minutes, stirring gently every 5 minutes. Eventually the sugar and tapioca will begin to coat the berries and become wet looking and slightly sticky.
• After 15 minutes, spoon berries into prepared chilled pie shell. Sprinkle lightly with small dash of cinnamon (optional).
• Cover with chilled top crust. Trim off any excess dough and seal and crimp the edge of pie. With a pastry brush, lightly brush the top crust with beaten egg white and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
• Bake in pre-heated 400 degree F oven for 30 minutes, then cover gently with a piece of aluminum foil to keep the pie from over browning. Bake an additional 25 minutes, remove foil and bake 5 more minutes for a total of 60 minutes.
• Cool this pie for at least 3-4 hours before cutting, (and for best results, refrigerate for another hour after it cools, before cutting).

• Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before storing.

• ADD half the sugar and stir until everything is combined. Taste and add additional sugar if needed.
• GRIND the tapioca pearls into powder and mix into the pie filling.
• SET ASIDE for 15 minutes so the tapioca can soften.
• PREPARE the pie crust. Carefully unroll the premade crusts. Place one crust in the pie tin. Place the pie pan on a cookie sheet to catch any blueberry juice overflow as the pie bakes.
• POUR the blueberry pie filling into the pie shell. Smooth it until it is evenly distributed in the pie pan.
• DOT the filling with several pats of butter.
• TOP the pie with the second refrigerated pie crust. Press the edges of the top and bottom crust together with a fork. Prick a few holes in the top crust for ventilation.
• MAKE an egg wash by whisking 1 tablespoon of water into 2 egg whites OR 1 whole egg.
• BRUSH the egg wash on the top pie crust. Sprinkle with finishing sugar (optional).
• COVER the edges of the pie with aluminum foil so the crust does not burn during baking.
• BAKE the pie for 40 to 50 minutes or until the pie filling is bubbly and the crust is lightly browned.
