How to Make Alaskan Blueberry Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 cup water. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens significantly (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of butter. Continue to stir for 1 minute.
  5. Gently fold in 2 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries.
  6. Pour the blueberry filling into a 9-inch baked pie crust.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
