This is a pretty straight ahead double crust blueberry pie. The only tweaking is instead of a solid top crust I cut out little half moons with a biscuit cutter and arranged them atop the blueberries. Think many moons floating in a dark sky. It looks great, but I think I used too much cornstarch to thicken. When no thickened juices bubble up out of the pie I get nervous. But it smells great. I tossed the berries with meyer lemon zest, a bit of lemon juice, a pinch of cinnamon, sugar and two tablespoons of cornstarch. For those of you who think I have a fabulous kitchen in which to do all this baking I thought I would share a picture of my oven. It’s a small countertop affair and yes, it is the only oven I have.
I’ll let you know about the pie later after I taste it.
