Here Mommy, Mommy, Mommy! I made a big mess!
NEVER trust a clean cook...or a clean dog...

Why is it when you are up to elbows in goo...
...someone wants to go potty? It would have to wait...
Emma
Chelsi...oh Chelsi! Guess what time it is?!
If you haven't guessed it...It's time for Blueberries!
So I wanted to share with you, the fruits of the labor.
Fresh Blueberry Pie - Chelsi...I hope you do this one and report back!
1 C Sugar (Aunt Bev's recipe calls for 3/4 C brown sugar and 1/4 C white sugar, I like it best w/ all white)
3 T Tapioca
1 t Salt
2 T Lemon Juice
1 T Butter for 'dotting'
3 T Water
4 C Blueberries
Blend all ingredients except the butter and place in your pie shell. (see link for pie dough how to) Dot w/ Butter. Place top crust, flute edges and slit the top. You can do the egg white and 2 T cream wash if you want and sprinkle with Cinnamon and Sugar if you like. Bake in 375 degree oven till golden and just starting to bubble.
This is my favorite Blueberry Pie! I will be making one for my Brother-In-Law, Eric pretty soon here!
He has a "thing" for squirrels...and hunting.
Makes 7 Quarts
6 Qt Fresh Blueberries
6 C Sugar
2 1/4 C ClearJell
7 C Cold Water
1/2 C Lemon Juice
Wash and drain blueberries. Blanch in large pot of boiling water and boil for exactly one minute. Drain and return to pot and keep lid on to keep them warm.
Combine in large stock pot, your sugar and ClearJell.
Add water and place on Medium/High heat. Stir till thick and bubbly. It gets real hard to stir after a while!
Add Lemon Juice and boil exactly One Minute.
Fold in Blueberries.
Ladle into hot jars and seal with hot rims and lids.
Process in Hot Water Bath for 30 minutes. Remove.
Let them rest for 12-24 hours. Lightly check seals.
So today I made a special trip to the POST OFFICE! Yeah!!!!! Congrats MamaTea!
And I wanted to share a picture of my bestest little girl with you...
Have a great weekend everyone!
No, not today! Nana isn't ready either! But knowing that we will all be there for you should help ease some of the sadness. And of course the happy memories that Ami has given you over the years should bring a smile to your face. She was loved beyond love and left her little footprint on all of our hearts! Okay, now I'm crying!!!!
ReplyDeleteStop it! Or I will jump off a cliff!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, looks delish! Oh how I love boo berry pie!!! Thanks for the shout out! YUM! Wait, do you think you could bake me one and send it on over? I will go to the store and buy vanilla ice cream to go with it!
ReplyDeleteWellll...I could be persuaded to send a JAR...
ReplyDeleteThis isn't Amy's YEAR damn it. She is hanging on for one more Christmas at least. I promise you...I can feel it. She is going to make a huge recovery in the next few days and be back to her very old self. Little Aimers...I just love her to pieces.
ReplyDeleteAnd listen, before I was crying at the end of your post, I was laughing my big butt off at that squirrel picture!!!! I need to blow that up for Eric. Seriously...he would die :-)
Oooo, your canned blueberry pie filling recipe is really tempting me. I usually just freeze my blueberries and then make the pie filling when needed from them. But having the filling all made up . . . just might hafta try that this year!
ReplyDeleteI think your destruction looks beautiful. :) And I've gotta say, your kitchen looks a hundred times cleaner than mine when I get done!! How do you manage that??
ReplyDeleteAmi is beautiful. An absolute doll. I don't even know her in real life and I love her. Give her a big squishy hug and a sloppy kiss right on the lips for me. :)
