Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Blueberry Pie With Low-Fat Topping

 

Ingredients

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tbsp icing sugar
1 pinch salt
2/3 cup cold butter

FILLING

2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tbsp cornstarch
1 pinch salt
5 cup blueberries
1/2 tsp lemon rind, finely grated
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp butter

TOPPING

1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup whipping cream



 

Preparation

In bowl, stir together flour, sugar and salt. Cube butter; using
pastry blender, cut into flour mixture until crumbly.

Using hands, press mixture into small handfuls until smooth and dough
holds together. Press evenly into bottom and up side of 10-inch flan
pan with removable bottom.

Using fork, prick crust at 1-inch intervals. Bake in 350F 180C oven
for about 20 minutes or until light sandy colour. Let cool on rack.

Filling: Meanwhile, in saucepan, stir together sugar, cornstarch and
salt. Whisk in 1/3 cup cold water, 2 cups of the blueberries and
lemon rind. Bring to simmer over medium heat; reduce heat and simmer
gently, stirring often, for about 10 minutes or until mixture is
glossy and thick. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice and butter.
Let cool slightly.

Gently stir remaining berries into saucepan. Spoon mixture into
prepared crust; smooth top. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until
set. [Pie can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 8 hours.]

Topping: spoon yogurt into paper towel-lined sieve set over bowl. Let
drain in refrigerator for 4 hours or until yogurt measures 3/4 cup.
Whip cream; stir one-quarter into yogurt. Fold in remaining cream.
