What problem might you have if you make blueberry pie filling out of blueberries that are still partially frozen? If it is partially frozen, you will not be able to drain the juice properly to make the gel, and the frozen, undrained juice will water down the filling later.

Let your fruit sit in sugar for a half an hour and drain the natural juices that will gather. This is especially good to do with peaches or strawberries. 4. Try sprinkling graham cracker crumbs inside your bottom crust; they soak up some of the juices released from fruit during baking.

It needs at least 2 hours to finish setting up after you pull the hot pie out of the oven. If you cut into a hot fruit pie right away, it's definitely going to be runnier than if you let it set up all the way. Another reason why blueberry pie might be runny is that it just didn't bake long enough.

Allow your pie to bake for the entire recommended period.

People often pull their pie too soon out of fear that it will burn. This leads to runny pie because it prevents the filling from thickening.

It is much better to freeze pumpkin and fruit pies before baking rather than after. The texture of pies suffers substantially if frozen after baking. If you freeze pies after baking them, thaw them at room temperature for about three hours and then crisp them in a 450 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 20 minutes.

If the bottom crust doesn't set before the filling soaks in, it's going to be gummy. A metal pie pan placed on a preheated surface will set the bottom crust quickest; once cooked, the liquids from the filling above won't soak in, and as a result: no soggy bottom.

A soupy pecan pie filling can be fixed by covering the crust in foil and popping it back into the oven at around 325 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Do not wait too long after you notice the filling isn't set. If you do, the bottom of the crust could begin to get soggy.

Pre-baking the pie crust is only required when making a custard pie OR when making a fresh fruit pie.

A fruit pie is ready to be pulled from the oven when its juices are bubbling in the center of the pie, not just the sides!

Take your fruit out of the freezer for a few minutes before you start working with it. It doesn't have to come to room temperature. It just makes it easier to work with when you start mixing in your sugar and your starch if it softens a bit and starts releasing its juices.

What is the disease in frozen blueberries? ›

Summary. Between 28 June 2022 and 3 July 2023, an outbreak of Hepatitis A occurred in New Zealand caused by imported frozen berries.

For best results in your baking, don't defrost the berries before use but instead toss them in flour. The flour will stop them sinking to the bottom of your mixture in the oven and can stop them bursting or their colour from bleeding.

While blueberries are generally considered to be a healthy food, they can sometimes cause digestive issues like constipation or diarrhea. If you eat too many blueberries, you may experience stomach pain or cramping. To avoid these issues, eat blueberries in moderation and make sure to drink plenty of water.
