Homemade Blueberry Pie (With Frozen Blueberries) adapted from https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/best-blueberry-pie/
Pie dough for top and bottom of 10” pie (http://www.inspiredtaste.net/22662/flaky-pie-crust-recipe/)
6 cups frozen blueberries
1 cup sugar (1/2 brown if desired)
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (artificial for nut allergies)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice plus zest of one lemon
1 Tablespoon butter melted
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 1 Tablespoon milk
Prepare and chill pie dough. Then preheat oven to 400°F
Make the filling: Stir the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, flour, and lemon juice and zest together in a large bowl. Mix melted butter with almond extract and stir into filling. Set aside.
Roll out one of the chilled pie dough and place in pan. Spoon the filling into the crust.
Roll out other chilled pie dough. Cover pie with top crust (Make steam holes in top crust) or use lattice topping. Lightly brush the top of the pie crust with the egg/milk mixture. Sprinkle the top with a little coarse sugar, if desired. Chill pie in freezer for 5 minutes.
Bake for 20 minutes. Keeping the pie in the oven, turn the temperature down to 350°F and bake about 40 to 60 minutes. (Juices will be bubbling out of steam holes) After the first 20 minutes of bake time, place a pie crust shield on top of the pie to prevent the edges from browning too quickly.
Allow the pie to cool for 3 full hours at room temperature before serving. This time allows the filling to thicken up. Cover leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Blueberry Cardamom Compote (https://true-north-kitchen.com/blueberry-cardamom-compote/)
Ingredients
▢ 4 cups frozen wild blueberries no need to defrost (fresh blueberries will also work)
▢ 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
▢ ¼ cup pure maple syrup or honeymore to taste
▢ Pinch of fine sea salt
▢ 1 teaspoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
Combine all ingredients except lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium low stirring frequently until berries get syrupy and begin to break down, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in lemon juice. Once the compote has cooled, transfer it to a jar and store in the fridge until ready to use (it will keep in the fridge for about two weeks or in the freezer for a couple of months).
Blueberry Muffins with Sour Cream www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/blueberry_muffins/
If you are using frozen berries, you can use them frozen, just separate them and toss them in flour to coat. Your cooking time may need to increase by a few minutes.
(Some brands of sour cream are much thicker than others. Feel free to dilute the sour cream with a little water if you think it's too thick. You can substitute the sour cream with plain yogurt; if you do, you likely will not need both tablespoons of added milk)
2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour plus 1 Tbsp for dusting the blueberries
1 Tbsp baking powder (make sure your baking powder is still good!)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt (I use 1 t.)
8 Tbsp butter (1 stick), melted
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cup plain sour cream
2 Tbsp milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 1/2 cups blueberries
**(Bev's Optional: juice of 2 lemons plus about 1/2 cup sugar)
1 Place the blueberries in a bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over them and gently toss to coat. (The flour will help keep the blueberries from sinking in the muffin as it cooks.)
2 Preheat your oven to 400°F (375 was better for my oven)with a rack in the lower middle. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients—the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3 In a large mixing bowl, place the sour cream, sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, lemon zest, and vanilla (the wet ingredients). Whisk together until smooth.
4 Add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar/egg mixture a third at a time and mix until just incorporated. Do not over mix!
5 Gently fold the blueberries into the mixture.
6 Use a standard 12-well muffin pan. Place a muffin liner in each well of the muffin pan, or if you don't have muffin liners, grease the inside of the muffin pan wells with vegetable oil or butter. Distribute the dough equally among the cups. You'll need to fill them very high to use all of the batter in 12 muffins, which is fine. They won't spill. If you still have too much dough, start filling another tin.
7 Place the muffins in the oven and bake at 400°F (375)until the muffins are golden brown, about 20 minutes. (If the muffins are getting too brown, tent with foil.) Test with a bamboo skewer to make sure the centers of the muffins are done. Let the muffins cool in the muffin pan for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove them from the pan. Let cool another 10 minutes before eating.
**(Bev's option: when removing muffins from pan, dip tops into lemon juice followed by sugar!)
