BLUEBERRY PIE
by ANITA GALLETTA
1 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp. water
2 tsp. sugar 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp. crushed dried peppermint 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. crushed dried peppermint
1/2 cup shortening 1/4 cup lemon juice
1 package (3 oz.) cream cheese 3 pints of blueberries
1 large egg
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large mixing bowl combine
first 5 ingredients. Cut in shortening and cream cheese
with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture is uniform.
Add egg and water to mixture. Blend until dough forms a
ball. Divide dough into two equal parts. On a lightly floured
surface, roll bottom crust into a circle 1/8 inch thick
and 1/2 inch larger than an inverted 9 inch pie plate. Gently
ease pie crust into greased pie plate, being careful not
to stretch the dough. Trim edge even with pie plate. In
a 3 quart saucepan, combine the next five ingredients and
2 cups of the blueberries. Cook on high, stirring constantly,
scraping the sides and the bottom of the pan. When mixture
begins to boil, reduce heat. Continue to cook over medium
heat until mixture is a dark violet color. Remove from heat
and gently stir remaining uncooked blueberries into the
cooked mixture. Spoon filling into unbaked pie shell.
Roll out top crust the same as bottom. Carefully lift the
top crust onto filled pie and trim 1/2-inch beyond the edge
of the pie plate. Fold top edge under crust. Crimp edges
or flute as desired. Bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes
or until desired browning is achieved. Refrigerate at least
two hours before serving. Yield: 1-9 inch pie.
