Blueberry Recipes

Jan’s Fresh Blueberry Pie – I got this recipe from allrecipes.com and it is simple, quick and delicious! It takes full advantage of fresh blueberries – the blueberry flavor really pops! The original recipe calls for lemon-flavored Jello but I use peach because of personal preference. I think lemon would be great if you like it. You may want to experiment with other Jello flavors – keep it a mild one so the flavor of the blueberries is primary.

Ingredients:

1 cup white sugar 4 cups fresh blueberries

2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust

1 cup water

4 tablespoons dry Jello

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, mix together the sugar and cornstarch. Pour in water and bring to a full boil. Turn off heat and add in dry Jello; stir until completely dissolved. Let cool.

2. When mixture is cooled, fold in blueberries. Gently pour into the graham cracker crust. Cover and refrigerate for about an hour or until ready to serve. Garnish with whipped topping when serving.
