Blueberry Pie


After a lovely evening picking blueberries at a u-pick farm with friends I made a yummy pie. I've never had one made with such fresh berries - there really is quite a difference.


4 cups blueberries (or any berry)

Combine:
2/3 to 1 cup or more sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
(1 1/2 tablespon lemon juice or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon)

Sprinkle these ingredients over the berries and stir gently until well blended. Let stand for 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Turn the fruit into a pie shell. Dot with
1 to 2 tablespoons butter

Cover the pie with a well-pricked top or with a lattice. Bake the pie in a 450 degree oven 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown.
