Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 ⅓ cups white sugar
• 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
• ½ teaspoon lemon juice
• 3 cups diced rhubarb
• 1 double crust ready-to-use pie crust
• 2 tablespoons butter, cut up

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place on lower oven rack.

Step 2

Toss the rhubarb and blueberries in a bowl with the salt, nutmeg, lemon juice, 1 1/3 cup sugar, and flour until evenly mixed. Pour into the pie shell and dot with butter.

Step 3

Cover the filled crust with the top crust and flute the edges. Cut a few decorative steam vents in the top crust. Sprinkle the crust with 1 tablespoon of sugar; cover the fluted edges with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven on the baking sheet for 15 minutes; reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake 35 minutes longer. Remove the foil and continue baking until the crust is golden and juice is bubbling through the slits, about 15 minutes more. Cool completely before serving.
