Royalpurpleblueberrypie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Prepare pastry for two crust pies. Pick over and wash blueberries.
• Combine sugar, flour, tapioca, spices, and salt; stir into blueberries. Add lemon juice and rind, and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Mix well, and turn into pastry lined 9 inch pie plate. Dot with small pieces of butter or margarine. Cover with top crust.
• Place pie on lowest rack in preheated oven. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for 30 minutes longer. Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon, and sprinkle over blueberries.
• Line pie dish with one pie crust. Pour berry mixture into the crust, and dot with butter. Cut remaining pastry into 1/2 - 3/4 inch wide strips, and make lattice top. Crimp and flute edges.
• Bake pie on lower shelf of oven for about 50 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out half the pastry and line a 9-inch pie pan; trim crust to the rim of the pan. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• Combine sugar, tapioca, and cinnamon. Toss sugar mixture with blueberries in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice. Let stand fifteen minutes. Meanwhile, roll out the top crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut into half-inch strips. Pour blueberry mixture into chilled pie shell and dot with butter. Add the pastry strips one at a time, weaving a lattice. Flute edges.
• Place pie on a baking sheet to catch drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, until filling is bubbly and crust is light brown. Cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• To make the pie crust:.
• If using whole freeze-dried blueberries (not powder), place them into a small food processor or pestle and mortar then grind until the blueberries have been broken down into a fine powder.
• Take 2 tablespoons of this homemade blueberry powder (or, if you bought it, the store-bought blueberry powder) and combine with the water in a small bowl.
• Place the flour, salt and sugar into a food processor along with the cold butter cubes. Pulse until the butter has been broken down so the mixture looks crumbly but there are some pea-sized butter lumps remaining. Pour in the blueberry water mixture and pulse again until just combined - you may need an extra tablespoon of water if the dough is looking too dry.
• Tip the dough out and use your hands to bring it together into a ball. Divide this in half and form two disks - you want one to be slightly larger as the excess will be needed for making the decorations for the crust.
• Wrap the dough disks in plastic wrap or place into re-sealable plastic bags and chill for at least 1 hour.
• To make the filling:.
• Place half of the blueberries, all of the sugar, the lemon zest and lemon juice into a medium pot. Set over a medium heat and bring to a boil then turn down to simmer.
• Stir the cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and water together in a small bowl until smooth. Pour this into the pot with the blueberries and stir until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining blueberries. Set aside to cool.
• To assemble:.
• Take the smaller, chilled disk of pastry and dust lightly with flour. Roll out on a large piece of parchment paper into a circle slightly larger than your 9-inch pie pan. Flip the dough and parchment together onto the pie pan. Peel away the parchment and press the dough down gently so it lines the pan. Pour in the chilled filling and spread it out into an even layer.
• Roll the second, larger, chilled disk of dough out on the same piece of parchment as you were using earlier, dusting with flour as needed. You want this circle of dough to be a couple of inches larger than the pie tin. Use a 1 inch round pastry cutter to randomly cut holes all over the circle of dough. Reserve all of the 1-inch dough circles this creates as you'll need them for decoration.
• Carefully flip the dough and parchment together over the filled pie dish. Peel away the parchment paper gently so you don't tear any of the circles. Press the dough together all around the edge of the pie pan and then use a sharp knife to trim away the excess pastry.
• Re-roll this pastry to about 1/8 to 1/4 -inch thick. Use the same 1-inch round cutter to cut out more circles from the dough. In total, you want 30-40 of these small circles.
• Crack the egg into a bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Brush this around the edge of the pie ONLY. Take the 1-inch circles of dough and place them around the edge of the pie, letting them overlap slightly.
• Chill the pie for 15 minutes as the oven preheats to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the pie for 40 minutes until the crust is starting to brown and the filling is bubbling.
• Let cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
• NOTES:.
• Freeze-dried Blueberries: https://www.amazon.com/365-Everyday-Value-Freeze-Blueberries/dp/B074M9BZB3/.
• Freeze-dried Blueberry powder: https://www.amazon.com/Sustainably-Canada-Grown-Organic-Blueberry/dp/B07CY1TLH2.

Steps:

• Wash the berries and pat dry. Mash up half of the blueberries in a small bowl.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt and tapioca flour. Add the mashed blueberries, orange juice and orange zest and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes. Fold in the whole berries.
• Line a 9-inch pie plate with aluminum foil. Place the blueberry mixture into the foil and place in the freezer until solid, approximately 6 to 8 hours.
• Once the filling is frozen, remove from the aluminum foil and wrap in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Unroll first piece of dough and place into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure the dough reaches to the lip of the pie pan. Trim excess, if necessary. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork and set aside. Unroll second piece of dough and cut into 1 1/8-inch wide strips that are at least 10-inches long. Using a ruler that is 1 1/8-inches wide, lay the ruler on the dough at 1 edge and roll across dough using the edge of the ruler as you go to cut through the dough.
• Remove the frozen pie filling from the freezer and place into the prepared dough in the pan. Lightly brush the edge of the crust with the egg yolk. Lay 4 strips of dough across the top of the filling horizontally, leaving an even amount of space in between each strip. Fold back 2 alternating strips and lay down another strip in the middle of the pie, perpendicular to the other strips. Return the strips that are laid back to their original position. Next, fold back the other 2 strips and lay down a strip to the left of the center perpendicular strip. Return the strips that are laid back to their original position and repeat on the other side of the perpendicular strip, folding back the same 2 strips as you did on the other side. Once you have a lattice, brush all the strips of dough with the egg yolk, trim excess dough and pinch strips and edge of crust in order to seal. Place on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes. The pie should be bubbling lightly around the edges. If the lattice is not browned enough in the center, place under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Place the pie on a rack and allow to cool to room temperature before serving, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Mix the blueberries, 1/2 cup of sugar, the flour, lemon zest, lemon juice and Cassis in a large bowl. Carefully ease one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, making sure not to stretch the dough or it will shrink as the pie bakes. With a sharp knife, cut the excess dough off at the edge of the pie plate. Spoon the blueberry mixture into the pie shell, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure you include all the juices.
• Brush the edge of the crust with the egg wash. Carefully lay the second crust on top, again easing - not stretching - it onto the pie. Cut the excess dough off at the edge of the pie plate. Press the edges together with a dinner fork or crimp with your fingers. Brush the top crust with the egg wash, cut three slits for steam to escape and sprinkle with sugar.
• Place the pie on the prepared sheet pan and bake in the middle of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until the filling is very bubbly and the crust is nicely browned. Allow to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.
• Cut the butter in 1/2-inch dice and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture. Place the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and shortening and pulse 10 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Dump the dough out on a floured board and turn it into a ball. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece out on a well-floured board into a 12- to 13-inch circle, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough to make sure it doesn't stick to the board.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Mix the blueberries, the 1/2 cup of sugar, the flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cassis in a large bowl. Carefully ease one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, making sure not to stretch the dough at all, or it will shrink as the pie bakes. With a sharp knife, cut the excess dough off at the edge of the pie plate. Spoon the blueberry mixture into the pie shell, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure you have all the juices.
• Brush the edge of the crust with the egg wash. Carefully lay the second crust on top, again easing -- not stretching -- it onto the pie. Cut the excess dough off at the edge of the pie plate. Press the two edges together with a dinner fork. Brush the top crust with the eggs wash, cut three slits for steam to escape, and sprinkle with sugar.
• Place the pie on the prepared sheet pan and bake in the middle of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until the filling is very bubbly and the crust is nicely browned. Allow to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.
• Cut the butter in 1/2-inch dice and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture. Place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and shortening. Pulse 8 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Dump out onto a floured board and roll into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece on a well-floured board into a circle at least 1 inch larger than the pie pan, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough so it doesnt stick to the board. (You should see bits of butter in the dough.) Fold the dough in half, ease it into the pie pan without stretching at all, and unfold to fit the pan. With a small sharp paring knife, cut the dough 1 inch larger around than the pan. Fold the edge under and crimp the edge with either your fingers or the tines of a fork.
