Ingredients
  

  • 1 c. water
  • 4 c. fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 3/4 - 1 c. sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 - 1/3 c. clear jel mixed with approx. 1/3 c. of water
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • Eggwash (a beaten egg with a splash of milk)
  • 2 (9") pie crust pastries for bottom and top

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan, mix water, berries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Bring to a boil.
    1 c. water, 4 c. fresh or frozen blueberries, 3/4 - 1 c. sugar, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1/4 tsp. salt
  • Mix clear jel with water to make a slurry. When the blueberry mixture begins to boil, slowly pour in the clear jel slurry, stirring constantly, until thickened. Be careful, because the filling may splatter as it begins to boil.
    1/4 - 1/3 c. clear jel mixed with approx. 1/3 c. of water
  • Remove from the heat and add the butter and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
    1 Tbsp. butter, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • Preheat the oven to 425°.
  • Pour the blueberry mixture into a prepared, unbaked, pie crust. Cover with a top crust or lattice strips.

  • Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350° and continue baking for another 45 - 50 minutes.
  • Cool before cutting into the pie. Keep refrigerated, loosely covered.

Notes

Blueberries can be substituted with blackberries, raspberries, or mulberries.
Filling made with clear jel does not change much in consistency whether it's hot or cold. So, when cooking the filling, slowly add clear jel slurry until the filling is your desired consistency.
