Today, while watching our Nascar Race.......Bob grilled steaks outside.....it is so hot out, I am sure we could have cooked them without the BBQ. We have so much oak on our property that he likes to make a natural fire with small pieces of oak. The fire was super HOT instantly and ready for the steaks. I fixed fresh corn on the cob and of course a cucumber salad. For dessert I made little blueberry pies..........wish I could think of another name........but I guess thats it.
I put about 1 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries in a pot on the stove with about 1/2 cup sugar, dash of salt and sprinkling of fresh squeezed lemon juice. Cooked this over med heat til the sugar dissolved.......then took the potato masher and mashed some of the berries........continued to cook til juices started to flow. Mixed about 1 1/2 Tblsp of cornstarch with a tiny bit of water, stir well and add to the berries, stirring. Cook til it thickens. Add another 1/2 cup of fresh berries, so you have some nice whole, crisp berries and remove from the heat. Let cool. Take a sheet of puffed pastry and cut into four pieces with your pizza cutter. Ladle blueberries just off center onto your pastry piece. Beat an egg with a fork and with a pastry brush......brush the egg along the edges of the pastry. Fold over the top piece to make a pocket or a triangle.......seal well and crimp along the edges.......make some little slits in the top of each one for steam to escape and bake on a cookie sheet......sprayed with Pam.......at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 min. These were so good.........I ate my two............immediately. Bob is working on his.
