Cool Blue Mango Macademia Pie

A nice balance of popping flavors; comforting but not too sweet.

Filling:

Slice two mango's into small chunks. Mix in a bowl with a quarter cup of raw sugar, a half pint of blueberries, a couple tablespoons of corn start, an eight cup or so of sweetened lime juice, and a a fresh squeezed lime.

Crust:

cut in 7/8 cup butter into 2 cups flour. Add 1 egg, a teaspoon of salt, 1.5 teaspoons of white vinegar, 1.5 teaspoons of sugar, and 1/4 cup water. mix until pastry dough texture is achieved. wrap in wax paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Pull the crust out of the fridge and roll out to 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. spread on bottom of pie pan and shape into crust. Pour in filling.

Topping:

Before baking, top with a thin layer or Gorgonzola blue cheese crumbles followed by a layer of partly crushed macadamia nuts. When you bake it the cheese will melt into the surface of the pie, and the macadamia nuts will come out nice and toasted.

You may bake the crust without the filling halfway first to be sure it gets done, and /or glaze the whole pie with egg whites to keep it moist and shiny.

Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes, or until crust is done and golden brown. Let set for an hour or so, serve and enjoy!
