Number Of Ingredients 16

- pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
1/2 cup(s) sugar
3 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
3 cup(s) fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup(s) orange juice
FOR THE CUSTARD
1/2 cup(s) sugar
2 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
1 1/4 cup(s) whole milk
3 - egg yolks
FOR THE MERINGUE
3 - egg whites
1/4 teaspoon(s) cream of tartar
6 tablespoon(s) sugar

Steps:

  • Line a 9-in. pie plate with pastry; trim and flute edges. Line unpricked pastry with a double-thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Stir in blueberries and orange juice. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Cover and set aside.
  • For custard, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of filling into egg yolks; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Cool to room temperature without stirring; set aside. In a large bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tarter on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved.
  • Pour blueberry mixture into pie shell; top with custard. Spread meringue evenly over filling, sealing edges to crust. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
