At Chelan Ranch, our organic blueberries are not just for snacking—they're perfect for creating mouthwatering desserts, like our famed blueberry pie. Thanks to our fresh and frozen options at the farm stand, they're available year-round. We thought this topic was essential because National Pi Day is March 14th!

I brought this yummy treat to our farm team meeting, adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream to each steaming slice to enhance the tasting experience. As the team considered each bite, their feedback was unmistakable— abundant berry-stained smiles. The overwhelming approval was all the encouragement I needed to share this recipe.

The ingredients are wonderfully straightforward. Organic lemons remain a constant in my pantry because they elevate nearly every recipe with flavor!

I'm adding our organic frozen blueberries directly into the recipe, bypassing the need for thawing.

After blending the blueberries with sugar, I stir in cornstarch, which helps thicken the mixture and create a smooth, thickened filling.

 I add the zest of one lemon directly to the bowl and combine it with the blueberry mixture. The fact that my berries are frozen makes this vigorous mixing acceptable. I'd minimize stirring with fresh berries to preserve their delicate structure, mixing all the dry ingredients separately before gently folding them into the blueberries. This approach ensures the berries remain intact!

I pressed the juice from both lemon halves into the bowl and mixed everything.

This delectable pie is oven-ready once I've beaten an egg over the entire crust and dusted it with turbinado sugar. My flour of choice is organic Emmer flour from Bluebird Farms in Twisp. The flour imparts a sweet, nutty richness, resulting in deeply flavored, rustic brown pastries.
