Blue Food



While I was pregnant, I did have food cravings. For blue foods. There are more than you'd think and I loved them all. Blueberries, blue grapes & grape juice, roasted blue potatoes, blue corn chips, and blackberries. If I've missed any, fill me in, I still love blue things. In fact, I still sometimes get that "gotta have this" message playing in my brain, so recently I made blueberry pie. I put in extra cornstarch & it was perfect! It set beautifully. I have a deep pie plate, so used:
6 cups of blueberries, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup white sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and 7 tbsp of cornstarch. I baked it at 400 with a crust guard for 45 mins, then removed the guard for the last 15-20 mins.
