Raspberry Pie Filling

Can your own raspberry pie filling easily at home for a wide variety of dessert options all year long.

These homemade raspberry preserves are a wonderful option and change from the traditional jam.

Quick & Easy

This recipes uses clearjel for a thick and wonderful consistency. I know, grandma probably used flour in her canned pie fillings. However, flour isn’t approved for home canning and can have finicky results.

Use the clearjel for wonderful and safe pie filling results every single time.

Making the actual pie filling is quick and easy – it will take longer for the water to boil in the canner than it will to make the filling.

12 Ounce Jars

I used the 12-ounce jelly jars to can this recipe for ease. However, one could absolutely do it in pint or even half-pint jars.

The various sizes would be perfect for a wide variety of uses, more about that below.

How to Serve & Use

Of course, use raspberry pie filling for pie. Use two 12 ounce jars for a 9 inch pie.

Other ideas include:

• Serving on top of ice cream
• Substitute the cranberry sauce in these bars with raspberry pie filling
• Using it as a dessert sauce on plain cakes
• Mixing a bit into plain yogurt
• Make this gluten free tart with raspberry instead of apple filling
• Fill dessert crepes
