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.

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
2/3-1 cup sugar (I use 2/3 cup as we don't like our pies too sweet)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4-1/3 cup cornstarch (depending on how thick you like your filling)
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • In a heavy saucepan mix together blueberries, sugar and lemon juice.
  • Over medium heat bring to boil, stirring frequently.
  • Mix cornstarch with water to make a paste.
  • Pour into berry mixture, stirring constantly until thick.
  • Remove from heat and let cool.
  • You can now freeze it or use for pie.
  • Bake at 400*F for about 35 minutes.
