Directions:
In a large bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, orange peel, nutmeg, cardamom and orange juice. Add blueberries; toss well and set aside. Prepare pie crust mix as label directs. Roll into a 12-inch circle, 1/8th-inch thick. Pour blueberry mixture into an unlined deep 10-inch pie plate. Dot with butter. Top with pastry; turn under and flute edges. Make slits in pastry for steam to escape. Brush with milk. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in preheated 425 degree F. oven for 40 minutes or until crust is browned and juice begins to bubble through slits. Serve warm or cool. Cut into 8 pieces.
Note: If fresh blueberries are unavailable, use dry-pack frozen blueberries.
