What is a good recipe for elderberry pie?

Question

do you use same ingredients as for blueberries

Answer 1

INGREDIENTS

    * 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

    * 4 cups elderberries

    * 1 cup white sugar

    * 3 tablespoons cornstarch

    * 1 tablespoon lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

   1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

   2. Mix cornstarch in a little bit of water and add to berries and sugar. Cook, stirring constantly until desired thickness. Add more cornstarch if not thick enough. Add lemon juice.

   3. Pour into bottom crust. Dot with butter. Put on top crust or make a lattice.

   4. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until browned and berries are bubbling through holes in the crust, approximately 40 minutes.

   5. Note: It is a good idea to put a pan or foil under the pie as it bakes since it might bubble over.

Answer 2

If the berries are on the sour side you might want to use a little more sugar.  Everything else is the same.

ELDERBERRY PIE

INGREDIENTS.............

2 1/2 cups elderberries

3 tablespoons lemon juice

3/4 cup white sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 9 inch pie pan with pastry.

Combine berries and lemon juice. Pour into shell. Mix sugar, salt and flour. Sprinkle over berries.

Cover with top crust. Seal and flute edges. Cut a few small steam vents in the top.

Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 10 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake 30 minutes longer.

I always place pies on a cookie sheet in case there is any spillage.

Good Eating..............   :)
