Welcome

Welcome to Kay's Village Recipes! Some believe the heart of the home is in the kitchen, I believe the kitchen is the heart of the village. It takes a “village” to live life to its fullest and it has nothing to do with geography or how large or small a town you live in. My “village” is inhabited by family members, dear friends, co-workers, and the occasional visitor who is in my life for a short period of time. Each one of these people has a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing as well as the quality of my life, and all have one thing in common…they all love to eat, and I love to cook for them.
On this blog you will find free, family recipes for: homemade soups, breads, apple pie, cakes, candies, snacks, casseroles, main courses, side dishes, appetizers, breakfast, home-style cooking, and so much more.

Blueberry Pie

Original Recipe from:  Virginia Bowers-Johnson

My mother loved everything Blueberry!  She looked forward to Blueberry Season every year.  To her it was the sign that summer was really here.  This recipe is very easy to make and tastes delicious.  I’m sure your friends and family will love it.  Enjoy!

Ingredients and Directions

Note:  you will need a total of 4 cups of Blueberries for this recipe.

1cup Blueberries
2/3 cups Water

In a medium saucepan, bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.

In a small mixing bowl blend the following ingredients.
1 cup Sugar
2 teaspoons Cornstarch
1/3 cup water

Add to the Blueberry mixture.  Bring to a boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and let cool.

In a baked, cooled pie crust spread 3 ounces softened Cream Cheese on the bottom.  Add 2-1/2 cups uncooked Blueberries on top of the Cream Cheese.  Cover with the cooked mixture and garnish with the remaining 1/2 cup uncooked Blueberries. 

Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.  Top with whipped cream when serving.
