Homemade Blueberry Pie Filling

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 Medium Saucepan (2-3 Quarts)

Ingredients  

  • 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions 

  • In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and lemon juice. Stir until smooth to make a slurry. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, and remaining water. Heat over medium heat.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until some berries begin to break down, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Give your cornstarch slurry another quick stir (in case it settles), then slowly pour it into the berry mixture while stirring constantly.
  • Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy about 2-3 minutes. Once it bubbles, remove it from heat.
  • Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool completely.
