PERFECT BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup berries with 3/4 cup sugar in pan.
• Simmer on low heat until sugar is melted and mixture is very liquid; about 5 minutes.
• Combine cornstarch and water in bowl.
• Add to pan with blueberries.
• Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to full boil and is clear and thick.
• Pour hot mixture into large bowl.Cool until warm.
• Fold in remaining 3 cups of blueberries, lemon rind, cinnamon,nutmeg and butter.
• Let cool before adding to pie crust.
• Add top crust and brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar.
• Preheat oven to 400°F but reduce heat to 375°F when you put pie in oven. Bake about 40 minutes. Check pie halfway through baking; cover edges with a strip of foil if edges are getting too brown.
• This technique works for any delicate fruit such as raspberries or strawberries.

• 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.

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.

BLUEBERRY FILLING FOR PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Don't worry about defrosting the blueberries. Mix the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
• Add the blueberries and lemon juice and toss well.
• Pile the mixture in the lined(meaning the crust filled)pie pan.
• Roll out the top crust and drape it over the pie.
• Crimp the edges of the pie together.
• Cut several vents in the top.
• bake for 10 minutes, then lower heat to 350 degrees and bake for 10-40 minutes.

BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING

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.

BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Bring first 4 ingredients to a boil in 8-quart kettle.
• Mix Clear Jell with water and add to kettle just before boiling.
• Stir briskly to boiling point.
• Remove from heat and add Karo syrup, Jellos, and blueberries.
• Ladle the mixture into 7 quart hot, sterile jars.
• Leave 1/2 inch headspace and seal the jars.
• Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
• Remove from water bath and place on kitchen towels on counter top to cool.
• When you're sure the jar is sealed, tighten the rings.
• Make sure the rim is clean before putting the lid on and reprocess.

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.

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.
