Instructions
In a heavy saucepan mix together blueberries, sugar and lemon juice. Over medium heat bring to boil, stirring frequently. Mix cornstarch with water to make a paste. Pour into berry mixture, stirring constantly until thick. Remove from heat and let cool. You can now freeze it or use for pie. Bake at 400°F for about 35 minutes.

You will never have soggy crusts again if you make your pie like this. You can make this and freeze it for using later. UPDATE: I just finished doing it in the microwave, so much easier than standing over a pot stirring. It took about 15 minutes, stirring after the first 5 min and every couple minutes until thick and clear looking. I added the cornstarch mixture after the first 5 minutes.
