Now that blueberry season is upon us, I had to make a blueberry pie. I don’t really use a recipe for it, but I do add about a half cup of sugar and approximately a well-rounded tablespoon of corn starch per pint of fresh blueberries, then cook them before using them as filling. I don’t bother pre-cooking my filling for non-berry pies, but with berries, it seems the best way to judge whether the filling is the right consistency, so I can adjust it if necessary before it’s baked. Some berries are simply juicier than others, and I really don’t want the filling running all over the pie pan after the first piece is cut, making the rest of the bottom crust all soggy.
Anyway, I just thought I’d share the picture. Pay no attention to my “well-seasoned” cookie sheet. Yeah. Well-seasoned. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. 😉
That looks sooooo good!
Yummy! It’s almost lunch time here and that’s making my stomach rumble.
In reality, it’s more tan than orange, but, whatever.
I’ll be right over to help you eat it!
Wow, Nicky is still obsessed with wanting someone to kill you in a story. Does he really think anyone is going to write one?? I wonder if he understands what happens in stories doesn’t make it happen in real life. Maybe not. Kinda sad.
He probably thinks it will destroy my reputation or the imaginary horror writing career I have that he invented. All it’s doing is making him look trashy and lacking in class and professionalism. LOL
Thing is, Mel’s going to get nothing, except for kudos from us. I love her.
I’m thinking he’s hoping I’ll post a story or two somewhere online for free for him to read. Or something as equally stupid. Unfortunately for Nicky, my IQ isn’t in the single digits like his.
Your pie looks lovely – I always put some gelatine granules in my berry fillings, the pie stays in shape to the last slice that way.
I am not happy with my fruit harvest this year, my dogs have discovered a liking for fresh fruit and ate everything in my garden, leaves and all! They left me the wild strawberries for some reason – I think they used them as a toilet though, there are an awful lot of flies buzzing around them…
