In baking you need to always have the ingredients measured precisely. Use a knife to level the flour, salt or baking powder since baking is relying on the chemistry. When you have an ingredient 'heaping' you have changed the chemistry!

Blueberry Pie

This recipe for Blueberry Pie can be used with other berries such as strawberry, raspberry or blackberry. Pie Crusts Recipe

3 pints (6 cups) berries
½ cup water
1 cup sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
1 tbls butter
Baked single pie crust

Take two cups of the fruit and use a potato masher to mash it to be about 1 cup. In a saucepan, mix the sugar and cornstarch. Add the crushed berries and water to the sugar mixture and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Let this bubble about 2 minutes and then gently stir in the butter. (If making strawberry pie, you can add a few drops of red food coloring now if you want.)

Let cool for about 30 minutes before filling baked pie shell. After filling has cooled, put the 4 cups of berries arranged in cooled, baked pie shell and pour filling over the berries. Refrigerate for a couple hours to firm up. A little whipped cream is just right.

In the height of summer when berries are ripe, you be glad this only needs the oven baking for the 10 minutes for a pie shell verses the hour of many other recipes.
