Seriously Fresh Blueberry Pie

July 6, 2014 by The Runaway Spoon 4 Comments

Seriously Fresh Blueberry PieWhen the summer blueberries are so abundant, I love to feature them in a way that doesn’t mask their sweet-tart and tender beauty.  And this pie is chockfull of blueberries.  A pile of fresh berries is bound together with sweetened berries and just a hint of cornstarch to thicken things up.  I prefer this to the sometimes gelatinous pie fillings you often find.  And it is so easy to make, its perfect for lazy summer weekends. Because I am not going to fault you for using a pre-made rolled pie crust. 

Nutmeg is a wonderful complement to blueberries. The first time I served this pie, I go that wonderful response “what is that flavor – it is so good”.  Nutmeg is mysterious and elusive, but adds such a unique twist to a blueberry dessert.  You can absolutely serve this pie with lightly sweetened whipped cream (try tangy buttermilk whipped cream) or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    What a delicious, summer treat. I rarely get a blueberry pie. Gonna pin this for next time I pick up a big box of blueberries at Costco!

    I could use my imagination, but what do you do with the butter in the recipe?

    Nutmeg is such an interesting addition. I’ll have to give it a try sometime!

    Stir it into the thickened blueberry puree until melted.

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
