Frozen Berries!

I am so glad that I froze a bunch of berries that we picked this year!  Even the frozen berries that you buy in the store still do not compare to fresh picked berries that you froze yourself!  Today I used blueberries that I had.  It probably will not be as delightful as it was over the summer with fresh berries but you never know!!

Blueberry Pie

3/4 cup sugar
4 tablepoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup water
4 cups blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In small saucepan combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and water.  Bring to a boil over high heat and boil until thickened (it will end up with an almost gel like consistency.)  Remove from heat and cool completely. 

In large bowl combine blueberries and lemon juice.  Add cooled mixture to berries.  Pour into prepared crust.  Top with lattice top or solid top with a few slits for ventilation.    

Cook for 20 minutes at 425 and then keeping pie in oven reduce heat to 350 for 25 more minutes.
