FRESH BLUEBERRY PIE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Mix the blueberries, the 1/2 cup of sugar, the flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cassis in a large bowl. Carefully ease one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, making sure not to stretch the dough at all, or it will shrink as the pie bakes. With a sharp knife, cut the excess dough off at the edge of the pie plate. Spoon the blueberry mixture into the pie shell, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure you have all the juices.
- Brush the edge of the crust with the egg wash. Carefully lay the second crust on top, again easing -- not stretching -- it onto the pie. Cut the excess dough off at the edge of the pie plate. Press the two edges together with a dinner fork. Brush the top crust with the eggs wash, cut three slits for steam to escape, and sprinkle with sugar.
- Place the pie on the prepared sheet pan and bake in the middle of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until the filling is very bubbly and the crust is nicely browned. Allow to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.
- Cut the butter in 1/2-inch dice and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture. Place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and shortening. Pulse 8 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Dump out onto a floured board and roll into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece on a well-floured board into a circle at least 1 inch larger than the pie pan, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough so it doesnt stick to the board. (You should see bits of butter in the dough.) Fold the dough in half, ease it into the pie pan without stretching at all, and unfold to fit the pan. With a small sharp paring knife, cut the dough 1 inch larger around than the pan. Fold the edge under and crimp the edge with either your fingers or the tines of a fork.

MINI BLUEBERRY TARTS
I served this recipe to my family while we were on vacation and they were all amazed! The best part: I didn't spend tons of time on it thanks to refrigerated pie crust. Watch your mini tarts around the 13-minute mark to make sure they don't brown too quickly. If you like, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar for a beautiful finishing touch.-Allison Bell, Hillsdale, New Jersey

- Line a 9-inch pie plate with remaining round of dough (do not stretch). Using kitchen shears, trim dough to a 1-inch overhang all around; refrigerate bottom crust.
- In a large bowl, toss blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and ginger; pour filling into bottom crust. Place chilled top crust over filling. Trim top crust to match bottom crust. Press edges of both crusts together, and fold overhang under itself; press to seal. Using thumb and forefinger, crimp edges. Cut a few slits in top of pie to let steam escape.
- Place pie on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes; reduce heat to 375 degrees, and bake until crust is golden and juices are bubbling rapidly all over, 60 to 70 minutes more (if edges are browning too quickly, tent with aluminum foil).

BLUEBERRY GINGERBREAD
Great tasting and a definite twist for gingerbread! Not overpowering. When storing, do not cover tightly, the top will become very moist instead of nice and crunchy. Serve plain or with a generous dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh blueberries.
- If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries that have been thawed and drained.
- Be sure to use cold butter for the crust. This will help the crust stay flaky.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the flour.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the crust tough.
- Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the dough stay firm and easy to work with.
- When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a lightly floured surface. This will help prevent the dough from sticking.
- Don't trim the edges of the dough too much. You want to leave a little bit of overhang so that you can fold it over the filling.
- Be sure to preheat the oven before baking the tart. This will help the crust cook evenly.
- Let the tart cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the filling set.
Conclusion:
This blueberry ginger tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The flaky crust, sweet and tangy filling, and ginger flavor make this tart a winner. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just for a weeknight dessert, this tart is sure to be a hit.
