Blueberry Pie Filling Recipe

Blueberry Pie Filling Recipe Notes:

● The final product yields 6 (sometimes 7) pints of pie filling.

● This can be used as a regular pie filling to bake a blueberry pie. Try it with this easy pie crust dough recipe. You will need two-pint jars to fill that 9″ pie crust.

● This recipe is made using a water bath instead of a pressure canner because of the high acid and sugar content. The temperature of a water bath is sufficient to ensure the safety of the foods. You probably could can these in a pressure canneron a low PSI and for a shorter amount of time but I have never done it that way so I am not sure of time or pressure.
