Ingredients
- 8 cups blueberries fresh
- 2 cups blueberry juice unsweetened

Recipe Description
This Fresh Blueberry Pie is made from fresh blueberries and thickened with blueberry juice. Make it using my Flaky No-Fail Pie Crust recipe. Make it extra healthy and sugar-free. Fresh Blueberry Pie. I have a healthy and delicious way to keep the blueberries in the pie. I use unsweetened blueberry juice. I add a mixture of sweetener (sugar, stevia, or monk fruit) and cornstarch to the juice. Boil the mixture and pour it over the fresh blueberries. The berries and juice jell as they cool in the pre-baked pie shell.
Recipe Directions
-
Make and prebake the pie shell using the pie crust recipe. Let the pie shell cool completely while you make the pie.
-
Combine cornstarch with the sweetener, add to a saucepan and stir to mix.
-
Add 1 cup of blueberry juice and bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent sticking and burning, until mixture thickens and turns clear.
-
Remove from heat and stir in 2nd cup of juice. This will thin the mixture enough to make it easy to pour over the fresh blueberries. Stir berries until all the berries are coated.
-
Pour the berries in a pre-baked pie shell and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
-
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
