1. Martin's Blueberry Pie
Martin of Blueberried Alive has a favorite fruit…can you guess what it is? He’s been farming ever since he started picking pumpkins as a kid, but cooking and playing the piano keep him going in the off season. Luckily, we’ll have Blueberries at least through the end of July. Celebrate with pie to eat now or freeze for later!
INGREDIENTS:
-5 cups of berries
-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-Heaped 1/4 cup of all purpose flour (for thickening. Add more is berries are exceptionally juicy)
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-1/2 to 1 cup of sugar, depending upon the sweetness of the berries that you’re using. I prefer tart berries with more sugar.
-Dash of salt
-sprinkle with orange juice
Use coconut oil for the shortening in the crust. Bake at 400 until you can tell that the insides are bubbling. 40-50 min. Let it set up, unless you like it hot and runny.
