In a heavy saucepan mix the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; bring to a boil stirring frequently; mix the cornstarch with just enough cold water to create a thick paste; pour over the berries whisking vigorously, then cook stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until thick and smooth; cool slightly (At this point you may want to cool the filling to room temperature then freeze in a plastic container, or continue with the recipe).
