Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust found in Make it Paleo II - though, optional if you want to make it crust-free
  • 5 cups blueberries divided
  • 3/4 cup granulated maple sugar or coconut palm sugar*
  • 3 tablespoons arrowroot starch
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • pinch of sea salt
  • juice of 1/2 lemon 1 1/2 tablespoons
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ghee or butter*
  • Fresh mint for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the crust using a 9-inch pie pan or tart pan.
  • Rinse the blueberries and set aside to dry. In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the maple sugar, arrowroot starch, and cold water. Add the salt and lemon juice and whisk to combine.
  • Warm the mixture over medium heat, whisking continuously for 1 minute. Add 3 cups of the fresh blueberries and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture starts to bubble and the blueberries start to pop, 3-5 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the texture starts to resemble that of blueberry jam and the liquid has thickened and started to gel slightly.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 cups of blueberries and the ghee. Pour the blueberry filling into the prebaked crust and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours. Garnish with fresh mint, if desired, and serve.
