Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Homemade or store-bought pie crust (for bottom and top)
  • 5 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp Primo's Traditional Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a pie dish with the bottom pie crust and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, Primo's Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, lemon juice, lemon zest, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Toss until the blueberries are evenly coated.
  • Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
  • Dot the top of the blueberry mixture with the small pieces of unsalted butter.
  • Cover the pie with the top pie crust, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
  • Optionally, brush the top crust with a little milk or egg wash for a golden finish.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can cover the edges with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
  • Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
  • Serve your delicious Balsamic Blueberry Pie warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Special Tips and Variations:

  • Feel free to use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are not available. Just make sure to thaw and drain them before using.
  • Experiment with different varieties of balsamic vinegar for unique flavor profiles. Primo's Traditional Balsamic Vinegar adds a rich and tangy sweetness, but you can also try flavored balsamic vinegars like raspberry or fig for added depth.
  • Serve the pie with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of additional balsamic vinegar for an extra special touch.
