Lime Blueberry Pie



Ingredients:

1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoon light-brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Minute Tapioca mix
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon lime zest
4 cups Maine wild blueberries (I like using frozen)
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 egg


Directions

In a separate mixing bowl, prepare the filling. Whisk together sugars, flour, tapioca, lime zest, and spices. Toss berries in dry mixture. Pour berries gradually into crust, holding back flour mixture with a big spoon. When the coated berries fill the bottom, pour the rest of the dry mixture on top of berries. Drizzle lime juice over berries; dot with butter.


Roll out top and bottom crusts to fit your pie plate.  Fit the bottom crust in, make sure you have about 1.5 inches to roll over.  Fold bottom crust up over top crust (this prevents side leaks); crimp to seal. Cut vents in the top to let the steam escape.  Beat egg and give the top of the crust a light egg wash.


Use leftover dough to decorate the top. Bake 50 minutes for fresh berries, 60 minutes for frozen or until juices bubble up out of the vents.

  3. This is a unique recipe for blueberry pie...the addition of lime and the bit of brown sugar...blueberry pie is my favorite! We had apple pie today and I was just wishing that it was blueberry.

  4. Mmmm! This pie is very like a diner pie that we used to have at The Agawam in Rowley, MA when we were young married folks with little money and a need to 'go out to dinner' to take a break from youngsters ... what memories food kicks up! Lovely pie it looks to be! yum!

  5. I love blueberries most as they are, or in a bowl with milk and sugar over them for dessert, but your pie might convince me that there are other ways to enjoy them :-)

    Can't quite work out which are the ingredients for the crust, and which are the ones for the filling.
    How hot should the oven be?

  12. Mary, this pie looks so yummy! I wonder whether it would work well too with blackberries, as at the moment they are plentiful here in the hedgerows in the UK otherwise we have to buy imported blueberries from the supermarket.
    I shall try out your recipe this weekend and let you know - thanks for sharing!

  13. First of all, that crust is so nicely browned I wouldn't care about the filling. I would just eat the entire crust off the pie. Never had lime with blueberry but I do like lemon and blueberry as a combination. And those plates are just adorable. Love my pie on a pretty plate!
