Dixies Blueberry Pie

Post by Cairidh »

Crust
1 c. almonds (soaked makes a much moister crust; if you want them to help soak up moisture from the filling, then the filling won't be so runny, you can soak and dehydrate before using.)
1 c. medjool dates

Layer
large handful blueberries

Filling
rest of a pint of blueberries (after handful removed)
1/4 c. coconut
1/4 c. pine nuts
1 T. lemon
3-5 dates Optional, only if sweeter is wanted
To make crust, process almonds and dates. Press into pie dish. You can either dehydrate it or leave as is.
Arrange blueberries on top of the crust for a layer between the crust and the filling. To make the filling, process all ingredients until smooth and pour over blueberries/crust.

(You can substitute any fruit for the blueberries.)

I made this a few years ago using blackcurrants instead of blueberries - it was absolutely delicious, better than any cooked blackcurrant pie.
The photos are of Dixies blueberry version. She also uses peaches:

I thought the two pics were separate, so I posted one at the top and one at the bottom, but apparantly they're joined together, so you got both twice!

Almonds and Dates sounds yummy! I'm thinking a blueberry tart?

I don't understand how you make the crust. (I've never baked before).


What do you do with the almonds and dates?

I'm guessing you grind the almonds and mash them together with the dates.
