- 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)
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.
