How to Make Blueberry Filling For Pies

In a heavy saucepan, combine 4 cups fresh blueberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
Once the blueberry mixture boils, reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the cornstarch slurry, stirring constantly. Continue stirring until the filling thickens and becomes clear, about 5-7 minutes (Microwave: Stir after 5 minutes and then every couple of minutes until thickened).
Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Once cooled, you can freeze the filling for up to 3 months or use it immediately in your favorite pie crust.
(If baking a pie) Pour filling into your prepared pie crust. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
