You absolutely cannot compare the taste of homemade pie filling to store bought. I just looked at the label of the one from the store: 42% fruit/51%sugar. The recipe below has a much higher proportion of fruit for sure. If you can’t get fresh berries, substitute frozen. It’s not the same, but it’s close.

 

Use this filling recipe in this blueberry pie.

 

 

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 3 cups blueberries

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 cup sugar

Directions

Make the Pie Filling

1.

Put the sugar and cornstarch into a pot. Gradually, add water, while mixing the sugar and cornstarch together. Turn on the flame to small-medium heat and add the blueberries to the pot. Stir constantly while cooking until the mixture thickens. Shut the flame and add the almond extract, if desired.  

Notes:

You can substitute fresh cherries for the blueberries. It is outstanding! They both freeze beautifully. Freeze in small plastic containers and make sure you label them!

Hi, if I use this for the blueberry bars (which linked me here to this recipe) how much of this would I use instead of one can of blueberry pie filling?

I’m not sure but I would think close to the entire batch. Start putting it in the crust and fill it until it’s full. You may have some leftover.
