Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine all of the ingredients except the 2 cups of whole blackberries and butter (which can be set to the side). Add 4 cups mashed blackberries of the 6 cups blackberries, 1 cup sugar, 6 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 large lemon, and 1 pinch salt. Stir to coat.
- Heat the saucepan over medium to medium-high heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture just begins to reach a boil.
- Gently fold in the remaining 2 cups of whole berries and 2 tablespoon butter, then remove the pan from heat to cool.
Notes
- The pie filling will continue to thicken as it cools, and it will thicken even more when refrigerated.
- This recipe will yield approximately 6 cups of pie filling, which should be enough for most pie recipes.
- Allow your pie filling to cool to room temperature before using it in pies, cakes, scones, or muffins.
- To store: Once cooled, keep your pie filling in an airtight jar or container and refrigerate it for 4-5 days.
- To freeze: Transfer the cooled pie filling to a half-gallon freezer bag and remove the excess air. Lay it flat in the freezer for easy storing and enjoy within 6 months.
