How to Make Kittencal's Blueberry Pie Option For Freezing

  1. In a heavy saucepan, combine 4 cups fresh blueberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  4. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the boiling blueberry mixture, whisking vigorously to prevent lumps.
  5. Continue cooking and stirring until the filling thickens and becomes smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. At this point, you can freeze the filling in an airtight container for later use.
  7. (If baking now) Pour the cooled filling into an unbaked 9-inch pie shell.
  8. Top with your preferred pie crust and crimp the edges to seal. Cut 2-3 small slits in the top crust.
  9. (Optional) Brush the top crust with cream and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  10. Place the pie on a baking sheet.
  11. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  12. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  13. Let cool completely before serving.
