Fresh Blueberry Pie

Lake of the Woods is known for its wild blueberries found throughout forest areas. That season is coming up very soon. Usually the last part of July. Here’s a recipe to get ready for those wonderful pies.

Ingredients

• 3 pints fresh blueberries
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (Optional)
• ¼ cup water
• 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces
• 1 pint fresh blueberries

Directions

Cook and stir 3 pints blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a saucepan with water over medium-low heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and add butter and remaining 1 pint blueberries; stir gently so blueberries stay whole. Allow to cool.
