This pie is made of cherries and blueberries, which turns this into a red, white and blue recipe with the addition of whipped cream or ice cream. It’s such a fun pie for summer when cherries and blueberries are ripe and cheap!
Ingredients needed:
- fresh sweet, dark cherries
- freshly squeezed lemon juice
- fresh blueberries
- white sugar
- cornstarch
- refrigerated pie crust
- butter
The first step is pitting all of the cherries. This is fairly easy to do if you have a handy dandy cherry pitter! Just put on your favorite TV show, and get to work. Use a paper towel for pitting, and put on an apron or a dark colored t-shirt so you don’t have to worry about any cherry juice splashing on you and staining anything.
How to make a Star Spangled Pie:
Spoon the cherry mixture over ¾ of the pastry in the pan, leaving 1 quadrant free. Spoon the blueberry mixture into the unfilled area. Make sure you put the blueberries in the upper-left corner because that’s where the stars are going to be placed. Scatter the butter evenly over the fruit.
When the pie has cooled, it will be much easier to cut into clean slices. Serve slices with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to make this a red, white and blue dessert!
Isn’t it beautiful? This Star Spangled Pie tastes great and is perfect for Flag Day, 4th of July and all summer celebrations! Enjoy!
