Blueberry Pie

[NanaPam]

Does anyone have a recipe for good Blueberry Pie? The ones I have tried don't thicken.

Thank you.

I don't have my recipe at hand, but I use tapioca to thicken instead of flour or cornstarch. I'll look for my recipe.

I know this isn't what you are describing, but it's very good. From Ms. Lucy at PBS.

Ms. Lucy's Blueberry Pie

8 ounce Philadelphia Cream Cheese, room temp.
just a tick shy of 1 cup granulated sugar (recipe calls for 1 cup, but it's a little too sweet - I use a tick over 3/4 of a cup)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
8 ounce cool whip (of course, I use extra creamy) :p
1 pint raw fresh blueberries

Cream together the cream cheese and sugar. Add cool whip, vanilla, and mix well. Add blueberries and fold into cream cheese mixture. Pour into baked pie shell and refrigerate over night. Strawberries or peaches may be used as a substitute for the fruit.

Pie Crust:

1 1/3 cup plain flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Crisco Shortening
3 tablespoons cold water
1 1/2 cups pecan pieces

Sift flour and salt. Add Crisco and cut in with a pastry cutter or two knives for pea-size consistency. Add water. Work in together. Roll out on lightly floured pastry board and put in a 9 inch pie pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes then sprinkle pecan pieces over the bottom of crust and continue to bake until the crust turns golden brown. Cool completely before adding filling.

If I don't want to make my crust, I use a frozen or refrigerated crust and line it with finely chopped pecans before I bake it off.

This is a good pie for summer.

Blueberry Jell-O Pie

1 baked piecrust, 9 inch
3 Tbsp. dark Jello-O such as black cherry, (use a large box or you won't have enough) I use sugar-free
2/3 cup sugar
2 1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 cup water
2 cups fresh blueberries
Whipped cream or Cool Whip (I use Lite Cool Whip)

Mix cornstarch in the 1 cup of water until thoroughly blended. In a medium size saucepan over medium heat, add sugar, Jell-O, and cornstarch mixture. Stir constantly until mixture comes to a slow boil. Remove from heat. Place blueberries into crust and pour cooked mixture over berries. Let chill until set. Top with whipped cream or Cool Whip.
