A couple of years ago I tried to make blueberry jam from a large box of frozen blueberries...they had been frozen a long time and had to be used up..BUT..the jam didn't set!! What I ended up with was..wild blueberries in a thin syrup!! Not able to make myself throw them away..( all 12 PINTS of them) I set them away in the pantry..and whenever I need a fast pie..I pull one out!
Here is what I do!
Ingredients;
One double pie crust ( tonight I had no shortening..so I mixed up a crust with half salt butter..it smells like blueberry shortbread in here!)
1 pint of wild blueberries in syrup ( and a half cup of any frozen berries you may have..I threw in the last of the frozen raspberries this time)
1/4 cup of corn starch
Roll out your pie crust
Then taking the lid of the blueberries in syrup..drop in a 1/4 cup of corn starch , put the lid back on and shake that jar til your teeth rattle!
Pour it into a pot..add your extra berries and turn on high..stirring slowly but constantly...
Continue to stir until it comes to a boil..it will darken and thicken FAST so do NOT stop stirring!
See The difference?
Once it thickens ..take a spatula and scrape it into your pie shell!
Top it with a crust and crimp the edges.
Pop it in the oven at 350-375 DF for about 40-45 minutes..until the crust is golden.
