How to Make Raspberry Pie Filling {Fresh or Frozen}

Quick and easy raspberry pie filling recipe that's old fashioned and homemade with simple ingredients. This is cooked on a stovetop and can be made with fresh or frozen raspberries. You can use it in many desserts.

I am happy to finally add this recipe to my growing collection of fillings and today's version can even be enjoyed in these Lemon Raspberry Cookies (Thumbprint). So far, I have shared these flavors: Peach Pie Filling, Homemade Apple Pie Filling, Strawberry Pie Filling, Blueberry Pie Filling and Cherry Pie Filling. All of these taste so much better and fresher than their canned counterparts. Once you make them yourself, there is no turning back!

Key ingredients

Variations

• For raspberry rhubarb flavor- Reduce the amount of raspberries to 3 cups and add ½ cup finely chopped rhubarbs.
• Use this same recipe for black raspberries too.
• For a seedless version, you can strain it through a fine mesh strainer at the end but honestly, it was a tedious, messy process and I won't do it again.

How to make easy make raspberry pie filling recipe with fresh or frozen raspberries?

1. Mix and cook ingredients- This includes Clear Jel, sugar and water.
2. Add lemon juice- When mixture becomes thick.
3. Remove from heat- And stir in raspberries.
4. Cool completely- Then use in your pies.

Tips and techniques

• You must use Clear Jel. Don't use cornstarch because it will make the filling a little cloudy and it doesn’t can very well either.
• Fresh or frozen raspberries can be used. You can also mix in some finely chopped rhubarb.
• Use a nonstick saucepan to prevent sticking and burning.
• You can easily make canned pie filling by following proper canning method.
• Don't replace granulated sugar with brown sugar because the filling ends up having a weird color that's not very appealing.
• Use a store-bought or homemade pie crust or you can use this filling in my Graham Cracker Crust (No Bake) or even this Oreo Pie Crust (No Bake).
• How long do you cook this pie? Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
