Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups fresh blueberries, stemmed and washed (read Intro)
1 cup unbleached white sugar
1/4 cup minute tapioca ("instant")
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (in a bind, I've used lime and orange juice)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (my addition)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 prepared double pie crust
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Prepare the pie crust and place the bottom crust in a 9-inch pie pan.
  • PREHEAT oven to 400°F.
  • Toss blueberries (and other berries if using) with sugar, tapioca, lemon juice, almond extract and cinnamon until evenly coated.
  • Let stand 15 minutes.
  • Fill the pie pan with the berry mixture.
  • Dot top of pie with butter.
  • Cover top with second pie crust.
  • Seal and flute edge. Cut several slits in top crust to allow steam to escape.
  • BAKE 45 to 50 minutes or until juices form bubbles that burst slowly.
  • Cool about 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve with ice cream, whipping cream, etc.
