  • 1 9-inch pie shell, baked and cooled
  • 1 cup water
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup water, sugar and lemon juice.  Add 1 cup blueberries.  Bring to a boil.

In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with the 3 tablespoons water and stir until well dissolved.  Stir into saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens.  Add remaining blueberries and cook until just warm.

TO PREPARE TOPPING:

In a small bowl, combine sour cream, vanilla and sugar.  Pour over top of berries, spreading evenly and covering completely.  Be careful not to swirl into berry mixture.
