    Homemade blueberry pie filling is so incredibly easy, as well as versatile! This is a smaller batch recipe that you can easily double or triple for whatever recipe you need!

    Just a few things I love about this recipe: it uses only natural sweetener, arrowroot is the thickening agent instead of cornstarch, and it has a great zip thanks to the lemon zest, lemon juice, and citric acid!

    No one wants a runny pie filling and you definitely won't have that issue with this recipe! It holds together well while not being too firm. 

    Ingredients

    • Fresh Blueberries are best in this recipe for that fresh taste. You can likely use thawed frozen berries since you don't have to worry about them breaking down!
    • Fresh Lemons for juicing and zesting.
    • Raw Honey for natural sweetness and great flavor.
    • Arrowroot Powder: I love using Bob's Red Mill Arrowroot Starch/Flour which you can find on Amazon most local grocery stores near the gluten free flours. You can also use cornstarch instead if that's what you have and use.
    • Citric Acid: It is really easy to find in you local grocery store.  Just search your baking isle or you can buy it on Amazon here.
    • Water to thin it all out a bit!

    Try this blueberry pie filling with my Blueberry Mascarpone Parfait recipe! Or, enjoy it in a pie, tart, crumble, crisp, or cobbler! Don't feel like baking? Try it with Greek yogurt or top your vanilla yogurt with a little dollop!
