Blueberry Cream Pie

Recipe

Preparation

CRUST: Combine the first four ingredients; press into the bottom and sides of an ungreased 9" pie pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 8-10 minutes or until crust just begins to brown. Cool.

Gradually stir in blueberry juice; bring to a boil. Boil 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; cool 15 minutes.
