Ingredients
  • one 9-inch baked pie crust
  • 3 cup fresh pichuberries, sliced in halves
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoon water (keep separate from 1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • pinch of salt
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Measure 1 cup of the pichuberries. Place them in a medium saucepan with ½ cup water. Cover and bring to a boil.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and the 2 tablespoons of water.
  4. When the pichuberries and water have come to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, stirring constantly for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the pichuberries start to burst. Stirring constantly, add the cornstarch mixture, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Simmer for a minute or until the mixture becomes translucent. Immediately remove it from the heat and quickly fold in the remaining 2 cups of pichuberries.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pie shell and let sit at room temperature for a few hours before serving.
