Yummy!  I had some buttermilk that I didn’t use for buttermilk pancakes, lemons that I didn’t use for lemon meringue pie, and frozen blueberries that I needed to use up.  I found a job for a buttermilk lemon pie, and added my own twist as usual.

Ingredients:

1 baked pie crust

for the custard

1 1/2 cups white sugar

2 tablespoons + 1 1 /2 teaspoons cornstarch

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

3 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 cup buttermilk (1/2 pint)

lemon zest from 2 lemons

roughly 6 tablespoons lemon juice from roughly 2 lemons

for the apricot blueberry sauce

2/3 cup apricot preserves

2 cups frozen or fresh blueberries

for the whipped cream topping

16 ounces whipping cream

4 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons vanilla

Directions:

1. Stir the sugar and cornstarch.

2. Beat in the melted butter, eggs, vanilla, buttermilk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

3. Bake until set, about 45-55 minutes in a 325 degree oven.

4. Meanwhile.  Heat the apricot preserves & blueberries over medium heat in a saucepan until the two “melt” together.  Set aside until the custard pie has finished cooking.

5. Pull the cooked custard pie out of the oven, spoon the apricot / blueberry sauce over the custard and let cool.

6. Right before serving make the whipped cream topping and decoratively scoop on top.  Serve chilled.
