Blueberry Pie with Homemade Filling
Blueberry Pie and Happy Valentine’s Day
Make Your Own
Make Several Kinds
The recipe given here Homemade Blueberry Pie Filling is for 1 quart. I doubled the recipe and made 2 quarts of pie filling, which is an usual amount to make, I know. I like to have 2 quarts of several different kinds of fruit pie fillings on hand such as: blueberry, cherry, peach, blackberry, apple and pear-cranberry. Instead of having six of the same kind of pie filling in the pantry, I like a variety.
This is our personal preference. If you have a large family, have access to large amounts of blueberries or you simply love blueberry pie filling and bake often by all means make as many quarts as you want…hey knock yourself out! Here’s a little secret, if you do decide to make your own fruit pie filling, you can make a home-made pie in the dead of winter too.
