I have waxed poetic about my love of wild blueberries before on this blog. (See here, here and here). Sweeter, smaller and less acidic than their big sister, the cultivated blueberry, they are, without question, my favourite summer fruit. Mostly I just enjoy them raw, in cereal or with yogurt and granola, but I also love to bake with them.
My daughter is pushing me to try flavour combinations I have never considered before. Blueberry and ginger? According to Bon Appetit it’s a dynamite combo. The ginger adds a subtle bit of heat in the back of your throat that is totally unexpected but very delicious. Tart lime adds the perfect hit of acid.
I decided to make mini pies, because I was dying to use my new tartlet pans from Nom Living in London. Their ceramics are beautifully hand crafted and just a joy to look at. 
I had some fun covering the pies with little flower cut outs.
Plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, these mini blueberry ginger pies are just adorable. But, full disclosure here, I found the crust to filling ratio was wrong. Way too much crust in these mini pies. A fruit pie needs to be singing with fruit and these tiny pies were just humming.
A 9 inch glass pie plate is the perfect vehicle to cram in all this blueberry happiness.

Lovely everything! The little ceramic tartlette molds are beautiful! Did you buy them in London or order online? The blueberries…..I have read all of the referenced posts where you waxed poetic about wild blueberries. Each and every one of those posts had me consulting the calendar for when I could possibly get to Canada for wild blueberries. We simply don’t get them in the midwest of the US. Sigh. The finished tartlettes are luscious. Even if you think the blueberry to crust ratio is off. Ginger is a winner with most fruit. 🙂
Thanks Wendy. I ordered online when I got home. The shipping wasn’t too expensive. I will say that ceramic is not the best conductor of heat for tarts. While they are pretty, glass or metal results in a more golden brown bottom. Don’t want soggy bottoms!! (Do you watch Great British Baking Show?)
Looks really delicious, and I especially like the first picture – I have no cake decorating skills, and your little pies look lovely!
