Canadian blueberry custard pie, a delicacy, is unique and has been associated with American colonialism. This pie is rich and creamy with a layer of custard on top of a layer of blueberries. The pie's custard layer is velvety, cream, and sweet, while the blueberry layer is tart and bursting with the fragrance of fruit. A dash of nutmeg over the top of this custard pie is like frosting on a cake. It’s filling, and savory taste makes it a choice dessert during the summer season. The versatile blueberries are folded into a custard filling to create a delicious, beautiful pie that everyone will want to try.

Instructions

1.Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2.Wash blueberries and remove stems; set aside.
3.Mix granulated sugar, flour, salt, and lemon rind in a medium-sized bowl. Add blueberries and lemon juice, and gently combine.

5.In your pie shell, spread the blueberry mixture evenly before carefully pouring the custard mixture over it.
