To make an old-fashioned cherry and blueberry pie, you will need fresh or frozen cherries, fresh or frozen blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pie crust (either homemade or store-bought). You may also want to include a pinch of salt and butter for added flavor.
Start by rinsing the cherries and blueberries under cold water. If using fresh cherries, pit and slice them in half. In a mixing bowl, combine the cherries and blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently until the fruit is well coated and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the juices to develop.
For an old-fashioned cherry and blueberry pie, a flaky, buttery pie crust works best. You can use a homemade pie crust made from flour, butter, and water, or opt for a high-quality store-bought crust. Ensure that the crust is chilled before rolling it out for the best texture.
Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Make sure to check the pie periodically to prevent over-browning.
Yes, you can make the pie ahead of time. You can either bake it and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or prepare the filling and crust separately, then assemble and bake it when you're ready to serve. If you choose to freeze the pie, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and it can last for up to 3 months in the freezer.
