Ingredients

1	x	dough	sweet, for a 2 crust pie

Filling
2	pints	blueberries	rinsed,, drained and picked over
3/4	cup	sugar
3	tablespoons	cornstarch
3	tablespoons	water
1	teaspoon	lemon zest	finely grated
1/2	teaspoon	cinnamon	ground
1/4	teaspoon	nutmeg	freshly grated
2	tablespoons	butter, unsalted
1	each	egg	well beaten with a pinch of salt
1	teaspoon	sugar	for finishing the top of the pie, optional

Directions

Prepare and chill the dough.

To make the filling, combine 1 cup of the blueberries with the sugar in a nonreactive saucepan.

Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is melted and the mixture is very liquid about 5 minutes.

Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and whisk the blueberry and sugar mixture into it.

Return everything to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, over low heat, until the mixture comes to a boil, thickens and becomes clear.

If it does not become clear, continue to cook over low heat for a few more minutes, until it does.

Pour into a large bowl and stir in the remaining filling ingredients, except the blueberries, then add the remaining 3 cups blueberries.

Cool. Set a rack at the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees.

Roll out the bottom crust and arrange in pan. Pour the cooled filling into the bottom crust.

Prepare a lattice top crust. Flute the edge of the pie and carefully brush it with egg wash. If you wish, sprinkle the top of the pie with sugar.

Place the pie in the oven on the lower rack and reduce the temperature to 375 degrees.

Bake for about 40 minutes, until the crust is baked through and a deep golden brown and the filling is gently bubbling.

If the top crust has not colored sufficiently after 30 minutes of baking, move the pie to the upper rack of the oven for the last 10 minutes. Cool the pie on a rack.

I used my left over smoked ham for this recipe and it came out awesome. I made it exactly has the recipe described and my family actually loved it. I will make it again!
