How To:
Strawberry Pie Filling
Ingredients
- 5 cups strawberries, fresh or frozen (you can also do this recipe with blueberries)
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup clear gel
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
Directions
- Mix all ingredients together in a large pot and let sit on the counter uncovered for 1 hour (for blueberries, 2 hours).
- Cook on medium heat, gently stirring.
- When you start hearing or seeing bubbles (they may not show at the top, you may just hear them when you stir), continue cooking for 1 more minute.
- Remove from heat.
- Fill your jars. If you are going to can, follow canning instructions in my Strawberry Jam post, only increase water bath time to 20 minutes. If not, store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
- Enjoy in pies, as a cheesecake topping, over ice cream, pancakes…you name it! It is SO delicious
