Ingredients

 * 3 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
 * 2/3 cup granulated sugar
 * 2 tablespoons cornstarch
 * 1/8 teaspoon salt
 * 1 teaspoon lemon juice
 * 3 cups flour
 * 1 cup shortening (Crisco or vegetable)
 * 1 egg, slightly beaten
 * 3 tablespoons water
 * 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions
Cook the berries on top of the stove over medium heat, until cooked through, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Add the sugar, cornstarch, salt and lemon juice and stir until thickened.

Mix together the flour, shortening, egg, water and lemon juice and place about half the mixture in a pie shell or rectangular loaf pan. Empty the blueberry mixture into the pie crust and cover with the remaining pastry.

Bake at 350° for one hour, until the blueberries are bubbling over. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve.
