BLUEBERRY FILLING FOR PIES



Blueberry Filling for Pies image

You will never have soggy crusts again if you make your pie like this. You can make this and freeze it for using later. UPDATE: I just finished doing it in the microwave, so much easier than standing over a pot stirring. It took about 15 minutes, stirring after the first 5 min and every couple minutes until thick and clear looking. I added the cornstarch mixture after the first 5 minutes.

BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING



Blueberry Pie Filling image

The scent of blueberry pie bubbling away in the oven is comforting and familiar, especially in high summer, when pie baking can become a daily event. But just imagine that summery smell, and taste, in deepest winter. This pie filling, which uses cornstarch as a thickener, has a shelf life of about nine months, so the best of summer can be yours in the winter, too.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
Juice of two lemons
4 pints blueberries
1 teaspoon almond extract, optional
4 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur, optional

Steps:

  • Fit a large pot with a rack, or line with a folded kitchen towel. Fill 2/3 with water and bring to a boil. Add 2 one-quart canning jars and boil for 10 minutes. Jars may be left in the warm water in the pot until ready to be filled. (Alternatively, you can sterilize jars by running them through a dishwasher cycle, leaving them there until ready to fill.)
  • Place canning rings in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and add lids to soften their rubber gaskets. Rings and lids may be left in the water until jars are filled.
  • In a large heavy pot, combine 1 cup water with sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice, and whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil and add berries; the mixture will look gloppy. Smash some of the berries with a potato masher or the back of a spoon. Return mixture to a boil for 1 minute. Add extract and liqueur, if using, and stir well.
  • Remove warm jars from pot and bring water back to a boil. Ladle hot filling into jars just up to the base of the neck, leaving 1 inch at the top. Wipe jar rims clean with a damp towel. Place lids on jars, screw on rings and lower jars back into the pot of boiling water. The water should cover the jars; if not, add more. Boil jars for 30 minutes. Transfer jars to a folded towel and allow to cool for 12 hours; you should hear them making a pinging sound as they seal.
  • Test the seals by removing rings and lifting jars by the flat lid. If the lid releases, the seal has not formed. Unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used within a month, or reprocessed. (Rings and jars may be reused, but a new flat lid must be used each time jars are processed.) To reprocess, reheat filling to boiling point (as in Step 3), then continue as before.

Tips for Making Blueberry Filling for Pies:

  • Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries will give your pie filling the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries, but make sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Simmer the blueberries: Simmering the blueberries in a saucepan with sugar and cornstarch will help to thicken the filling and prevent it from being too runny. Simmer the blueberries for at least 5 minutes, or until they have softened and released their juices.
  • Add lemon juice: A little bit of lemon juice will help to brighten the flavor of the blueberry filling. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for every cup of blueberries.
  • Use a variety of sugars: Using a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar will give your blueberry filling a more complex flavor. You can also add a little bit of honey or maple syrup for a sweeter filling.
  • Season the filling: A pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger will help to enhance the flavor of the blueberry filling. You can also add a little bit of vanilla extract for a richer flavor.
  • Chill the filling before using: Chilling the blueberry filling before using will help it to set and make it easier to work with. Chill the filling for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.

Conclusion:

Blueberry filling is a delicious and versatile filling that can be used in a variety of pies and other desserts. By following these tips, you can make the best blueberry filling possible. Whether you are making a classic blueberry pie, a blueberry cobbler, or a blueberry cheesecake, your dessert is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
