Blueberry Pie

20 ounces blueberries (approximately 4 cups)

1/2 cup sugar

1/8 tsp salt

5 tbsp flour (or cornstarch)

1 tbsp fresh orange juice

1 Basic 9” Double Crust (unbaked)

Egg Wash

 

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees

Mash up half of the blueberries in a small bowl.

Mix together the sugar, salt and flour.

Add the mashed blueberries and orange juice and stir to combine.

Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes. Fold in the whole berries.

Pour mixture into bottom crust.

Lightly brush the edge of the crust with the egg wash and place the top crust (this recipe works great with a lattice top).

Once you have the top crust in place, brush with the egg wash, trim excess dough and edge of crust in order to seal.

Place on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes. The pie should be bubbling lightly around the edges.

Place the pie on a rack and allow to cool to room temperature before serving, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
