Mom's Blueberry Tart
Ingredients
  • 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
  • 4 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 450 degrees Fahrenheit or 230 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, position a 9-inch pie plate on a flat surface and cover it with the pre-made pastry crust, ensuring it is evenly spread across the plate.
3
To prepare the filling, combine granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, tapioca powder, and a blend of spices in a bowl. Gradually add salt to the mixture before stirring it into fresh or frozen blueberries.
4
Add a squeeze of lemon juice and some grated lemon zest to the mixture, allowing it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. This will help the flavors meld together.
5
Mix the ingredients well, then gently pour them into the prepared pie crust. Dot the top of the filling with small pieces of unsalted butter.
6
Cover the pie with its matching pastry crust, creating a sealed and secure package.
7
Carefully place the pie on the lowest rack of your preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
8
Then, reduce the oven temperature to its second-lowest setting, which is 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
9
Bake the pie for an additional 30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
10
Serve the pie warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
