Step 1

Into a large saucepan, put the blueberries and all ingredients except for the lemon juice.

Step 2

Turn the heat up to medium high and mash together the berries and other ingredients using a potato masher. Make sure that the cornstarch is no longer lumpy. It’s ok if there are chunks of berries or whole berries.

Step 3

While on medium heat continuously stir the contents of the saucepan until the blueberry pie filling begins to thicken up.

Step 4

Set the heat to low and allow to simmer for about 5-10 minutes.

Step 5

At the end of cooking, add the lemon juice and stir together.

Step 6

At this point you can either make a blueberry pie right away, or store the filling in jars until you’re ready to use it.
