Awesome Blueberry Pie

Recipe courtesy of Mr. Food's Cooking By the Calendar

Ingredients:

one 9" frozen ready-to-bake pie shell, thawed
1 pkg. (4-serving size) lemon gelatin
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
3/4 cup ginger ale
3 pints fresh blueberries, washed

Preparation:

Bake the pie shell according to package directions. Set aside to cool.

In a medium saucepan, combine all the remaining ingredients except two pints blueberries over medium heat. Cook five to seven minutes, or until the gelatin mix has dissolved and the blueberries have popped and colored the mixture blue, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and let cool for about five minutes.

Stir in the remaining two pints blueberries and spoon into the baked pie shell, mounding up the center for a nice high pie. Chill for at least four hours, or until set. Serve, or cover and keep chilled until ready to serve.

* Note: Before serving, top each slice with a dollop of freshly whipped cream and additional fresh blueberries.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings
