Old-fashioned Blueberry Pie

Here's the recipe for the old fashioned blueberry pie that I prepared earlier:

The Ingredients for the Pie:





Filling:
- 3 tbsp berry jam
- 3 cups blueberries
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sugar



Pastry: Edmonds shortbread pastry sheets

The Making of the Pie:

Filling:
Heat jam until liquid, then stir in the remaining ingredients until the blueberries become soft [if they're frozen], and are evenly coated with sauce.



Assemble:



- Line a pie dish with pastry. Make sure that the pastry overlaps over the edge by 2 cms.
- Pour the filling into the pie dish.
- Arrange a lattice pattern such as this over the top of the filling.
- Fold over the remaining 2 cms of pastry sheet over the lattice.
- Bake at 210 degree celsius until the pastry is golden brown.
- Serve warm, and let me know how it went :D



Points to remember:
- I used the shortbread pastry. It gets soggy easily. So don't leave it uneaten for too long.
- For the berry jam, I used blueberry jam. It was delish. Way too sweet for me though.
- The pie dish was just a normal aluminium foil dish that you can get at your supermarket for about 50c.
- I read somewhere that the pie needs to be in the oven for 20 minutes. Ours cooked in about 15.
- Leftover pastry sheets? I cut out shapes, chucked them in the oven with the pie, and they turned out to be beautiful and very very delicious biscuits to go with tea. Also delicious raw! :D
- With the leftover pastry sheets, I cut some circles out of them and stuck them on top of the lattice. They looked good.
