Blueberry Pie Filling Forget The Cans Recipes

BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING

Steps:

• In a saucepan, add 3 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 2 tablespoons water, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Stir just to combine.
• Cook the blueberries over medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes or until it begins to thicken. Remove it from heat and let it cool down. Store in airtight glass jars.

HOMEMADE BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Cook and stir 3 pints blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a saucepan with water over medium-low heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and add butter and remaining 1 pint blueberries; stir gently so blueberries stay whole. Allow to cool.

FROZEN BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Combine mashed blueberries with 2 tablespoons of cold water in a saucepan over low heat. Heat until boiling, stirring to avoid sticking. Stir in honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• Mix remaining 4 tablespoons cold water with cornstarch, tapioca flour, and arrowroot flour to form an even, milky solution with no lumps. Add this slowly to boiling berry mixture while stirring evenly. Remove from heat and let cool.

BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING, FORGET THE CANS!

Steps:

• Make sure your 16-oz bag of blueberries is good and defrosted! If you need extra, it's okay if you use ones that are still frozen-- I made it that way, the rest need to be thawed with that blueberry juice floating around in the pot.
• Empty the blueberries, juice and all, into a heavy-bottom saucepan for easy dispersion with the brown sugar on medium heat. It's okay if your brown sugar is lumpy/hard.
• Stir around until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
• Add the spices to your liking to the mix, namely cinnamon.
• Add the cornstarch and stir in well.
• Keep the heat on low and let simmer for about 5 minutes, and stir well again, it should have a nice thick glue-like consistency.
• It's ready to serve over something like white cake and ice cream! Can also be refridgerated for about a week. For pie baking, simply pour into a pre-baked or homemade 9 or 10 inch pie shell and pat down evenly and add your own pie crust or streusel topping.

EASY-AS-PIE BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING

Steps:

• The easiest way to defrost the blueberries is to simply leave the bag in the fridge overnight or for a couple hours. But you can also do it in the microwave for about 5-6 minutes on your microwave's defrost setting.
• However you defrost them, empty the bag's contents-- blueberry juice included, that's important for flavor and consistency-- into a heavy-bottom saucepan.
• Stir the blueberries with the sugar on high heat for a minute or two.
• Lower the heat and stir in the cinnamon, and let simmer for about another 5 minutes.
• Add the arrowroot until thickened and let simmer until a thick and syrup-y consistency happens.
• Pour into a 9" pie crust, a premade or homemade one, and let chill in the fridge for about an hour unless you like to eat it warm.
