How to Make Blueberry Pie Filling

  1. In a large saucepan, whisk together the ClearJel, sugar, water, lemon juice, lemon zest (if using), cinnamon (if using), and nutmeg (if using).
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly. The mixture will thicken considerably.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, to ensure the ClearJel is fully activated and the filling has thickened.
  4. Stir in the blueberries. Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes, or until the blueberries have softened and released their juices and the filling has reached your desired consistency. The filling should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  5. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely before using in your pie crust. The filling will thicken further as it cools.
