I’m this video I make pie filling for the first time and it turned out amazing! The process seemed a bit daunting at first but it was so easy. I now want to can so many more pie fillings.

Hey everyone welcome back back I’m Carrie and this is keep it simple DIY I’ve got a lot of canning projects going on today one of which is we are going to be making some blueberry pie filling I’ve never made a pie filling before but I often like to use pie fillings not
Necessarily in a pie but more in a hand pie so I have out my complete guide to home canning USDA recipe book and this is what we’re going to use to make our pie Filling the pie fillings on page 2-27 of this cookbook definitely make sure anytime you’re canning to use a safe tested trusted recipe we want to make sure we’re always canning safely so for this recipe I need thaw blueberries which are here these are thaw and then granulated sugar I need clear gel this
Is the cook type right yep make sure I at the right one and I need lemon juice and then it says possibly food coloring I’m not going to add any food coloring though I find that that’s um not necessary so we need to figure out how many blueberries we have
Here so we can know how much of everything else to use let me show you the recipe real quick so this recipe shows me in one quart and seven quarts how much we need I know I don’t have seven quarts but let’s see how many quarts worth we have
Take a guess leave your comment below how long will it be before I get blueberry on this page okay let’s see how much of this we have am I supposed to drain this drain but keep heated okay we need to drain it that was mistake on my
Part now I’m wondering what am I going to do with all this blueberry juice and I also need to keep these heated so maybe I’ll just microwave them to heat them up right before we need them I’m just running out of room on my stove cuz I’m doing quite a few projects at
Once ooh o i wonder do you think I could use this blueberry sauce like the liquid in my sourdough and make like a lemon blueberry sourdough oops um that could be good these are the tiniest blueberries I’ve ever seen all right okay this worked out perfectly I have 3
And 1/2 cups of blueberries and one qu needed 3 and 1/2 cups of blueberries so we going to make a quart I am probably going to put it in pints or maybe half pints I’m still debating on what size regardless pints or quarts cook for 30 minutes and this is a boiling water
Recipe so that means I need to actually increase it by 10 minutes because my altitude so that’s 40 minutes that I have to boil these for so what do I need to put in here I I need to do a 3/4 cup of granulated sugar plus 2 tablespoon so
3/4 cup we’ve got this is the half cut measure if you haven’t seen these before these are my favorite they have a line halfway through which is why I chose the half cut measure cuz then I can just come in here with the 1/4 cup and
There’s our 1/4 cup and then we need two tablespoons two tablespoons right yep and then we need some clear gel we need 1 tbspoon plus 1/4 cup and I don’t want to dip the4 Cup in there with all that sugar on it so I’m going to do this just over
It well actually I think that’s okay there’s our qu cup and 1 tablespoon and is that how much it was 1 tspoon yep we’re also going to need some cold water how much one cup of cold water but I need to mix these together before I put the cold water
In calming crazy here but why would we use cold water instead of that juice I feel like perhaps because I bought prefrozen blueberries it seems like it just make way more sense to use that as the water and water doesn’t have anything to do with safety but with
That we can can blueberries without I’m trying to think through on if this is safe or not cuz I don’t want to do any Rebel canning but I’ve canned blueberries just blueberries and sugar so you definitely wouldn’t need I don’t know I’m going to follow the recipe the
Way it is just because I want to make sure it’s safe but I’m thinking it kind of would make more sense to just use that juice and instead of water but either way I will make sure to use that juice at some point I’m going
To try to get all these lumps out of here okay right let’s throw our water in going to mix it up and then we will get it on the stove I want to mix this all thoroughly before putting it on the stove because clear gel is basically just cornstarch it’s a little bit
Different in its properties but it works the same way and with corn search if you leave any lumps you’re going to have lumps so I’m going to do my best to get all these out okay let’s put on the stove all right let’s get this heat on and we are
Going to stir this I’m going to reread these directions because this is new to me cook on medium high heat until it thickens and begins to Bubble add the lemon juice and boil for a minute stirring constantly fold in the berries okay and the lemon juice that we
Need is three tablespoons so here’s my tablespoon we’re going to need three as soon as this thickens up and my berries are warm so that’s good okay we’re now thickening up I don’t know how much thickened up it wants it to be before I add in the lemon
Juice well we have to do it for another minute after that I’d say we’ve thickened up yeah let’s add the lemon juice now actually nope I can feel this is coming around just to be a certain there we go that’s that’s probably it okay let’s add the lemon juice juice three tablespoon 1 2 three okay let this go again for a minute okay let’s add our blueberries I think I’m going to turn off the heat while I fold these in okay this should fit in these two jars so let’s see if that happens oh no I put some on the towel oh
Well I guess that’s some for us to eat right okay so/ qu inch head space there’s that one okay I have a little bit left in there that I will just put in a jar in the fridge let’s wipe these rims and get a new lid and a new ring on each of
Them and then we’ll get them in the canner for 40 minutes oh no it might not cover the top no I need more water or I need to add more jars oh you know what I forgot I forgot to put something on the bottom okay let’s try that again I added
Some more hot water to this pot we’ll have to let it come back up to Boiling again and now I’m going to put these jars in and you know I’m looking at it they’re covered but they’re not going to be covered during this whole time so I need to add a little bit
More gosh I probably should put another jar in there too cuz it’s all right put a lid on it let me jar this rest up okay we have this much in a little jar that we’ll put in the fridge now you better believe I’m going
To clean this up by trying it oh that’s good mhm that’s really good I need to let this come up to a boil and then and then once it comes up to a boil I will start the timer in the meantime I am going to clean out this
Pot but you know means scrape it and eat all the insides and then wash it so I’ll be back when these are done processing okay these jars have processed I’m going to take them out of the caner and then just set them on that towel All right there we have it our first two jars of blueberry pie filling that I’ve ever made I actually really liked it at least before it was canned so I’ll check after see if I still really love it this might be my new favorite thing is making
Pie fillings because I love having pie fillings in the house I also got this little jar of pie filling just for in the fridge um you might notice behind me I think I mentioned it earlier I doing a ton of canning today I’m making separate video videos for each thing I’m making
Strawberry jam on the stove right now and then I’m also going to be making barbecue sauce so definitely look out for those videos as well if you enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up if you’re new here and haven’t yet please subscribe I would love to see you and
