This raspberry pie filling recipe is easy to make and can at home. Even for the
seasoned home canner, our Video 2 is a good refresher for safe home canning
practices.

Always select blemish free fruit. We always prefer organic fruit without
pesticides. We add lemon juice to most recipes to help protect the color.

A Simple Approach to Preserving Homemade Foods
Making Raspberry Pie Filling and Home Canning
  1. Calculate total ingredients desired using our conversion chart.
  2. Combine water, sugar, lemon juice and Clear Gel in a large, heavy pan and slowly bring
    to a boil, stirring continuously to avoid lumping of Clear Gel.
  3. Add fruit and bring up to temperature, cooking for about five minutes, stirring continuously.
  4. Canning using hot pack method with 1” of headspace.
  5. Processing with a Water Bath for 30 minutes at 212 degrees.
  6. For elevations above 1,000 foot level see Altitude Time Adjustments.
  7. After processing, remove from boiling water and place the jars on a towel, separated by
    1” to cool naturally as quickly as possible
  8. Labeling and Storing
  9. To bake a covered or uncovered pie, use a 9" pie crust. For uncovered, you may put
    dabs of butter on top of the fruit. Bake at 425° for 1/2 hour and then reduce temperature
    to 350° for another 1/2 hour.
