Filling:
2 packages Trader Joe’s frozen organic
blueberries (4 Cups of berries)
1/2 lemon
1-2 Tablespoons agar
2-3 Tablespoons kudzu or arrowroot dissolved
in a small amount of cold water
1/4 tsp. Sea salt
Dash of cinnamon
1/2 – 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
1/4 Cup brown rice syrup
1/4 Cup maple syrup
Place the blueberries into a large saucepan and
turn the heat to med.-low. Add the agar, salt,
rice syrup and maple syrup. It may be helpful to
use berries that have been thawed beforehand.
Simmer until the agar is dissolved. (About 5
minutes if berries are thawed) Add the kudzu or
arrowroot and stir constantly for another few
minutes. Turn off the heat and add the vanilla
and a squeeze of lemon juice from the 1/2
lemon. Let the filling cool for 10-15 minutes
and then pour into prepared pie crust.
You might wonder why I am using frozen
berries. Simply because they are available
easily. If you can get 4 C. of fresh berries that
would be even better. Use the best of what you
have available to you. Enjoy.
