BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Simmer 3 cups blueberries with 1/2 cup maple syrup until the mixture reduces by half, about 20 minutes. Pour into a bowl; stir in 4 cups blueberries, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca, 1 tablespoon,lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cool completely, then pour into pie shell; dot with 4 tablespoons butter.
• Perfect All-Butter Piecrust
• Pulse 3 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Add 1 diced stick cold butter; process until combined. Add 2 more diced sticks cold butter; pulse three times, or until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar. Gradually pour in 1/3 cup ice water, pulsing about four times until combined. Turn out onto a clean surface and press into a cohesive dough without overworking (you should see bits of butter). Wrap in plastic wrap and press into a 1-inch-thick disk; refrigerate at least 1 hour before rolling out.
• How to Make a Pie
• Divide the chilled dough in half; roll 1 piece into a 12-inch, 1/8-inch-thick circle on a lightly floured surface (refrigerate the other piece).
• Roll the dough onto a rolling pin, then unroll it into a 9-inch glass pie plate, letting it hang over the edge; add filling.
• Roll out the other piece of dough and place over the filling; press the crust edges together and trim, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Roll up or pinch the overhang to seal.
• Place a foil-lined baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees. Wrap an oiled, wide band of foil around the pie edge to protect the crust. Make slashes in the top of the crust; chill for 30 minutes.
• Reduce the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the pie for 30 minutes. Remove the foil band, brush the crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes; cool before slicing.

ROYAL PURPLE BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• To make the pie crust:.
• If using whole freeze-dried blueberries (not powder), place them into a small food processor or pestle and mortar then grind until the blueberries have been broken down into a fine powder.
• Take 2 tablespoons of this homemade blueberry powder (or, if you bought it, the store-bought blueberry powder) and combine with the water in a small bowl.
• Place the flour, salt and sugar into a food processor along with the cold butter cubes. Pulse until the butter has been broken down so the mixture looks crumbly but there are some pea-sized butter lumps remaining. Pour in the blueberry water mixture and pulse again until just combined - you may need an extra tablespoon of water if the dough is looking too dry.
• Tip the dough out and use your hands to bring it together into a ball. Divide this in half and form two disks - you want one to be slightly larger as the excess will be needed for making the decorations for the crust.
• Wrap the dough disks in plastic wrap or place into re-sealable plastic bags and chill for at least 1 hour.
• To make the filling:.
• Place half of the blueberries, all of the sugar, the lemon zest and lemon juice into a medium pot. Set over a medium heat and bring to a boil then turn down to simmer.
• Stir the cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and water together in a small bowl until smooth. Pour this into the pot with the blueberries and stir until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining blueberries. Set aside to cool.
• To assemble:.
• Take the smaller, chilled disk of pastry and dust lightly with flour. Roll out on a large piece of parchment paper into a circle slightly larger than your 9-inch pie pan. Flip the dough and parchment together onto the pie pan. Peel away the parchment and press the dough down gently so it lines the pan. Pour in the chilled filling and spread it out into an even layer.
• Roll the second, larger, chilled disk of dough out on the same piece of parchment as you were using earlier, dusting with flour as needed. You want this circle of dough to be a couple of inches larger than the pie tin. Use a 1 inch round pastry cutter to randomly cut holes all over the circle of dough. Reserve all of the 1-inch dough circles this creates as you'll need them for decoration.
• Carefully flip the dough and parchment together over the filled pie dish. Peel away the parchment paper gently so you don't tear any of the circles. Press the dough together all around the edge of the pie pan and then use a sharp knife to trim away the excess pastry.
• Re-roll this pastry to about 1/8 to 1/4 -inch thick. Use the same 1-inch round cutter to cut out more circles from the dough. In total, you want 30-40 of these small circles.
• Crack the egg into a bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Brush this around the edge of the pie ONLY. Take the 1-inch circles of dough and place them around the edge of the pie, letting them overlap slightly.
• Chill the pie for 15 minutes as the oven preheats to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the pie for 40 minutes until the crust is starting to brown and the filling is bubbling.
• Let cool for at least 1 hour before serving.

THE BEST EVER BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F Combine 2 cups flour and salt in large bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in enough water with fork just until flour is moistened.
• Divide dough in half; shape each half into ball. Flatten slightly. Wrap 1 ball of dough in plastic food wrap; refrigerate. Roll out remaining ball of dough on lightly floured surface into 12-inch circle. Fold into quarters. Place dough into 9-inch pie pan; unfold, pressing firmly against bottom and sides. Trim crust to 1/2 inch from edge of pan.
• Combine sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, nutmeg and cinnamon; mix well. Stir in blueberries. Spoon blueberry mixture into prepared pie crust.
• Roll out remaining ball of dough on lightly floured surface into 12-inch circle. Cut out decorative shapes in dough using a small cookie cutter. Place dough over filling. Seal, trim and crimp or flute edge. Cover edge of crust with 2-inch strip of aluminum foil so it don't burn.
• Bake for 35 minutes; remove aluminum foil. Continue baking for 10 to 20 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and juice begins to bubble through cut-outs in crust.
• Cool pie 30 minutes; serve warm. Store refrigerated.
• TIP::: If fresh blueberries are unavailable, substitute frozen blueberries and increase baking time by 15 minutes.

BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Generously coat a 9-inch pie plate with butter. Lightly dust a clean surface with flour.
• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor to combine. Add the butter and shortening and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Gradually add 1/2 to 2/3 cup ice water, pulsing until the dough just comes together; scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
• Put the dough on the floured surface and roll it into a ball. Cut the dough in half; roll out 1 piece into a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Gently roll up the dough onto the floured rolling pin and unroll into the pie plate. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan; refrigerate until ready to use. Roll out the second half of the dough into a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Lay it on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate.
• Make the filling: Combine 3 cups blueberries and 1/2 cup sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then cook until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a large bowl; add the remaining 3 cups blueberries and 1/2 cup sugar, the jam, flour, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt. Stir to combine and set aside to cool completely.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spoon the filling into the crust-lined pie pan. Dot with the butter. Roll up the chilled dough on the floured rolling pin and unroll it over the blueberry filling. Trim the overlapping edge to about a 1 1/2-inch overhang. Tuck the edge of the top crust under the edge of the bottom crust. Pinch the edge to flute and seal. Use a pastry cutter or small knife to cut a 1-inch hole in the center of the top crust.
• Put the pie on a baking sheet. Bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake 30 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Combine the sugar, orange juice and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over low heat. Simmer gently until the glaze coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Open the oven door and slide the rack out slightly. Pour the glaze over the pie and into the opening in the top crust. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and bake until the crust is golden brown, about 10 or 15 more minutes.
• Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool overnight before slicing.

PERFECT BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Crust:.
• Into a 9-inch pie plate, sift together the flour, sugar, and the salt.
• In a glass measuring cup, whisk together 1/2 cup salad oil and 3 tablespoons milk with a fork. Pour that over the flour mixture in pie plate and mix with a fork until all flour is evenly dampened. If it is still too dry to work with your hands, mix a little more oil with a little milk and add to flour mixture.
• With your hands press the dough evenly against the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan, allowing the excess to fall on the counter. (This will be the top crumble crust and is about 1/3 of the total crust mixture.) Sweep it into your hand and reserve in a small bowl.
• Crimp the edges of the bottom crust or use a fork dipped in milk to flatten the crust along the rim.
• Berry pie filling:.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To the washed berries add cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon, and freshly grated nutmeg. Stir gently.
• Place the berry mixture in the bottom crust and sprinkle lemon juice over it. Then with an ordinary teaspoon, place little 1/2 teaspoons soft butter evenly over the top of the berry filling.
• Crumble the reserved crust on top of the pie.
• Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Check it after 30 minutes. If crust is getting golden but pie filling is not quite congealed, tent the pie with aluminum foil to keep crust from getting too brown.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream.
