Ozark Blue-Cranberry Pie

Ingredients

CRUST:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons shortening, chilled
4 to 5 tablespoons ice water

1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tablespoons butter

Directions

For crust, combine flour, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Cut in
shortening until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add water, 1
tablespoon at a time, until ingredients are just moistened. Divide
dough in half.
