Steps:
- Special equipment: a 9-inch springform pan
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
- Combine 1 cup of the flour, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar and the salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some large lumps. Add the egg yolks and pulse until blended.
- Place the dough in the springform pan, and press it evenly against the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides. Toss 2 1/2 cups of the berries, the lemon zest, juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, remaining 1 tablespoon flour and remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Pour the berry mixture into the shell and bake until vigorously bubbling, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and immediately top with the remaining 1 1/2 cups blueberries.
- Just before serving, dust with confectioners' sugar by tapping it through a fine-mesh sieve. Serve warm or at room temperature.
NOVA SCOTIA BLUEBERRY FLAN
A wonderful fruit dessert, easily made with frozen blueberries if you can't find fresh. The province of Nova Scotia has an abundance of blueberries, hence the name. (Recipe originates with Canadian Living.)

BLUEBERRY VINAIGRETTE - TASTE OF NOVA SCOTIA
Quick to put together, and extremely tasty. This delightful recipe was compliments of Taste of Nova Scotia and was created by Sean Laceby of the Blomidon Inn in Wolfville. My good friend Gail has also made this with strawberries as well as peaches (her favourite). This is one quarter of the original recipe, which was listed as serving 4 - 8. As Gail mentions, this would only apply if you planned to serve it as a beverage. ;) If you have issues with small seeds, it would be a good idea to strain before bottling. I don't know how long it keeps, but I would think you'd be safe if used within a week. I'm still breathing, so I guess that's a good indicator.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling later on.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. This is especially important for the blueberries in this recipe.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the flan tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Bake the Flan in a Water Bath: This will help to prevent the flan from cracking and will also help it to cook evenly.
- Let the Flan Cool Completely Before Serving: This will help the flan to set properly and will also make it easier to slice.
