Ingredients
  • 150 g (5.3oz) sugar
  • 2.5 tbsp cornflour
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 160 ml (5.6fl oz) water
  • 600 g (21.2oz) fresh blueberries
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
  • 10 inch pie crust, blind-baked and cooled

Step-by-step

  1. If you want to use ready-made pie crust, feel free! Why exhaust yourself making pie dough? However, you should use fresh blueberries and real butter.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt and cinnamon. Blend in water and 225g blueberries. Bring to a boil and smash half the berries (a wooden spoon or an oldfashion potato masher does the trick).
  3. Continue to stir constantly until mixture is very thick, a minute or so. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, butter, lemon juice and lemon zest. You must let this cool before proceeding. If you’re in a hurry, you can cool the filling quicker by submerging the bottom of the pan in a bowl of ice and water while stirring.
  4. Fold in 375g blueberries, coating them well. Scoop into a cooled baked pie shell. Arrange remaining cup of fresh berries over top. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
  5. To serve, remove pie from refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
