Well, let me tell ya, I got somethin’ to say ’bout them recipes with blueberry pie filling from can. Ain’t nothin’ like a good blueberry pie, but sometimes you just ain’t got the time or the energy to make one from scratch. That’s where that canned stuff comes in handy, ya know?
Now, I’ve seen a lot of fancy folks turn their noses up at canned pie fillin’, but I’m here to tell ya, it can be just as good if you know what you’re doin’. Heck, my grandkids, they gobble up anything I make with it, and they don’t even know the difference! They just know it’s good eatin’. And it really saves time, you know. You can find the canned blueberry pie filling easily, too.
First thing you gotta know, that canned blueberry pie filling, you can use it for more than just pie. Oh yeah, you can use it for all sorts of things. You want a quick dessert? This is it!
Here are a few ideas that come to mind, simple things anyone can do:
- Blueberry pie with canned blueberry pie filling, that is for sure. Just dump that fillin’ in a pie crust, maybe throw a crumble on top, and bake it. Easy peasy. You could buy one of them pre-made crusts at the store, or make your own if you’re feelin’ ambitious. I usually just buy one. No shame in that.
- You can also use it as a topping. Yep, just spoon it over some ice cream, or maybe some pound cake. Makes it taste all fancy-like without any extra work. My favorite thing to do is to buy ice cream, and just pour the blueberry pie filling over it.
- And you know what else is good? You can use it in breakfast stuff. I swear! I saw it on one of those cooking shows. They were using all sorts of fancy words, but it looked like a good idea to me. And they look so good.
Here’s how you can use it for breakfast:
- Mix it in with your oatmeal. Just cook up some oatmeal like you usually do, and then stir in a spoonful of that blueberry fillin’. Gives it a nice sweet flavor. It is a sweet breakfast.
- Or, you can put it on top of pancakes or waffles. Instead of syrup, just use the blueberry fillin’. My grandkids love it when I do that. It makes a regular breakfast into something special, you know?
- I even saw someone put it inside a muffin once. They made the muffin batter, put a little bit in the muffin tin, then a spoonful of blueberry fillin’, and then more batter on top. Baked ’em up just like regular muffins. They looked pretty good, I gotta say.
Now, if you’re gonna use that canned blueberry pie fillin’ for a pie, here’s a couple of tips:
- First, make sure you get a good quality one. Some of them are kinda watery, and they don’t taste as good. You gotta read the labels and find one that’s thick and has lots of blueberries in it. The more blueberries, the better.
- Second, you can add some other stuff to it to make it even better. I always try to think of a way to make things even better. Like a little bit of lemon juice, or some cinnamon. Just a pinch, mind you, you don’t want to overpower the blueberry flavor.
- And don’t forget to preheat that oven! This is important. You want it good and hot before you put the pie in, otherwise the crust won’t cook right. My old oven, it takes a while to heat up, so I always turn it on first thing. 375 degrees is usually about right for a blueberry pie.
One time, I tried to make a blueberry pie from scratch. I went out and picked them blueberries myself. Took me all day! And then I had to wash ’em, and make the crust, and the fillin’, it was a whole big mess. And you know what? It didn’t even taste that much better than the one I make with the canned stuff! So now, I just stick with the canned fillin’. It’s easier, it’s faster, and it tastes just as good. If you use good canned blueberry pie filling, nobody will know that you didn’t pick those berries yourself!
So don’t be afraid of that canned blueberry pie filling. It’s a good thing to have in your pantry. You never know when you might need a quick dessert or a special breakfast treat. And it’s so easy to use, even a kid could do it. My grandkids help me in the kitchen all the time. They love to help with baking.
And you don’t need to be some fancy cook to use it. Just use your imagination. There are so many desserts with canned blueberry pie filling. Try different things and see what you like. You might surprise yourself! I’m always tryin’ new things. Sometimes they work out, sometimes they don’t. But that’s half the fun, isn’t it? I think so.
So next time you’re at the store, pick up a can of that blueberry pie fillin’. You’ll be glad you did. And tell ’em I sent ya! They won’t know what you’re talkin’ about, but it’ll be our little secret, haha! Remember to get the good quality ones, you know, with the most blueberries.
