HOMEMADE BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING

HOW TO CAN BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Prepare canner, jars and lids.
• Fill a large stainless steel pot halfway with water and boil over high heat. Add blueberries and cook for one minute.
• Drain blueberries, allowing blueberry water to drain into a bowl. Cover blueberries to keep them warm. Reserve 4 cups of the blueberry liquid. *Note: If you accidentally forget to reserve the blueberry liquid, just measure out 4 cups of regular water.
• In a large stainless steel pot, mix sugar and Clear-Jel. Whisk in 4 cups of reserved blueberry liquid and bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Stirring constantly, reduce heat and boil lightly until mixture begins to bubble and thicken (it will get quite thick and you will feel resistance so you'll know when it's thick enough).
• Stir in lemon juice and nutmeg and cook for one minute, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat and gently mix in the warm blueberries.
• Remove hot jars from canner one at a time and ladle hot pie filling into each one, leaving just a bit more than one inch of headspace. Remove any air bubbles with a knife and adjust headspace if needed.
• Wipe rim, place lid on jar and screw band down until fingertip tight.
• Place jars in canner and make sure they're completely submerged in water before placing the canner lid on. Bring water to a boil and process jars for 30 minutes. Once processing time is up, turn off the heat, remove the canner lid and allow jars to rest in the canner for another 5 minutes.
• Remove jars and let cool completely before storing in a cool dark place.

BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING RECIPE

Steps:

• Place blueberries and ¼ cup water in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until you notice some of the blueberries breaking down, about 3-5 minutes depending on how hot your stove is.
• While they are cooking, mix the cornstarch, 1 tablespoon water and lemon juice in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Set aside.
• Add the sugar and stir. Then stir the cornstarch slurry to make sure there are no lumps and stir it into the blueberries. Stir constantly until mixture thickens, just 1-2 minutes or so. Once the mixture bubbles it's done. Remove from the heat and transfer to a jar or bowl to cool.
• Cover warm mixture so it doesn't form a skin and let come to room temperature, then chill if not using.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Use as directed in desired recipes, as a no-bake filling for pie or lush, or use it in a baked pie or danish. Follow the directions on the recipe you're using for baking instructions.

BLUEBERRY PIE WITH FROZEN BERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Put frozen blueberries in a pot along with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Mix gently so that the blueberries will get covered with cornstarch; the cornstarch will help to thicken the pie filling. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally so it will not burn to the bottom, about 15 minutes.
• While the pie filling is cooking, combine flour, 3/4 cup butter, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix with a fork until crumbles form. Slowly add cold water and mix until incorporated, adding more water as needed.
• Divide dough into 2 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Roll out 1 dough ball with a rolling pin into a 10-inch circle. Transfer pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edge of the pie crust with scissors and crimp the rim with your fingertips and knuckles.
• Remove pie filling from heat and pour into the pie crust. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon butter pieces on top of the filling; the butter will melt and make a thin surface over the filling that will help you weave the strips of crust for the lattice on top.
• Roll the top crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut into 1/2-inch strips with a sharp paring knife or pastry wheel. Start with the longest strips and lay the first 2 in an X in the center of the pie. Alternate horizontal and vertical strips, weaving them in an over-and-under pattern. Use the shortest strips for the edges of the lattice. Fold the ends of the lattice strips under the edge of the bottom crust and flute the crust.
• Melt 1 teaspoon butter in milk by microwaving in a microwave-safe cup in 10-second intervals. Brush over the top of the pie to get a nice golden brown crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

BLUEBERRY CRUMBLE PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the flour and salt together in a medium size mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash in the butter and shortening. Continue to cut into the butter and shortening, creating large chunks of pastry dough. (It's okay if there are a few visible butter chunks, they will bake well with the crust).
• Slowly pour in your 1/4 cup of water into the dough and continue to stir, making it a smoother dough.
• Transfer the pie dough to a prepared surface, sprinkled with flour. Fold the dough a few times on the floury surface, so that it is not sticky, but you don't want it dry and crumbly. A good cookie dough consistency is what you are going for.
• Wrap the dough in saran wrap, in a ball shape, and place in your fridge for about 2-3 hours.
• After the dough has refrigerated, roll it out to the size of your pie pan (usually 8 or 9 inches.) You can make a decorative edge, but the crumble goes out to the sides, that it won't really be seen. Set your prepared dough, in the pan, aside until you are ready to fill it.
• In a large bowl, combine your Lucky Leaf Blueberry Pie Filling, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg seasoning.
• Mix until well combined. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, oats, and cinnamon until well combined.
• Add your slightly melted butter and mix until you have a crumbly substance.
• With your prepared pie crust, pour your Blueberry Crumble Pie filling on top of the crust, spreading it out into an even layer. (I used a rubber spatula to evenly spread it).
• Sprinkle on the prepared crumble over the evened out out Blueberry Pie Filling.
• Lightly cover the entire pie with a piece of foil.
• Place your prepared pie in the pan, on a cookie sheet. Place the pie in the oven.
• Bake at 400 Degrees F. for 45 minutes.
• Enjoy warm with ice cream on top, if desired.

BLUEBERRY PIE WITH CANNED FILLING RECIPE

Steps:

• Line pie pan with rolled pie crust. Spread filling evenly in crust. Place vented or lattice top crust over filling. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake an additional 25 to 35 minutes until golden brown.

BLUEBERRY PIE (WITH CANNED FILLING AND PREMADE CRUST)

Steps:

• PREHEAT the oven to 400° F (200° C). Heat an additional 10 minutes after the oven reaches 400° F (200°C).
• DUMP a can of blueberry pie filling into a medium bowl.
• STIR in the fresh or frozen blueberries.
• JUICE the lemon and pour the lemon juice and almond extract (if using) into the berries.
• SPRINKLE in the spices and salt.
• ADD half the sugar and stir until everything is combined. Taste and add additional sugar if needed.
• GRIND the tapioca pearls into powder and mix into the pie filling.
• SET ASIDE for 15 minutes so the tapioca can soften.
• PREPARE the pie crust. Carefully unroll the premade crusts. Place one crust in the pie tin. Place the pie pan on a cookie sheet to catch any blueberry juice overflow as the pie bakes.
• POUR the blueberry pie filling into the pie shell. Smooth it until it is evenly distributed in the pie pan.
• DOT the filling with several pats of butter.
• TOP the pie with the second refrigerated pie crust. Press the edges of the top and bottom crust together with a fork. Prick a few holes in the top crust for ventilation.
• MAKE an egg wash by whisking 1 tablespoon of water into 2 egg whites OR 1 whole egg.
• BRUSH the egg wash on the top pie crust. Sprinkle with finishing sugar (optional).
• COVER the edges of the pie with aluminum foil so the crust does not burn during baking.
• BAKE the pie for 40 to 50 minutes or until the pie filling is bubbly and the crust is lightly browned.
• REMOVE the hot blueberry pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 15 minutes before cutting.
• SERVE with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
