Blueberry Filling Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup berries with 3/4 cup sugar in pan.
• Simmer on low heat until sugar is melted and mixture is very liquid; about 5 minutes.
• Combine cornstarch and water in bowl.
• Add to pan with blueberries.
• Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to full boil and is clear and thick.
• Pour hot mixture into large bowl.Cool until warm.
• Fold in remaining 3 cups of blueberries, lemon rind, cinnamon,nutmeg and butter.
• Let cool before adding to pie crust.
• Add top crust and brush with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar.
• Preheat oven to 400°F but reduce heat to 375°F when you put pie in oven. Bake about 40 minutes. Check pie halfway through baking; cover edges with a strip of foil if edges are getting too brown.
• This technique works for any delicate fruit such as raspberries or strawberries.

Steps:

• Combine mashed blueberries with 2 tablespoons of cold water in a saucepan over low heat. Heat until boiling, stirring to avoid sticking. Stir in honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• Mix remaining 4 tablespoons cold water with cornstarch, tapioca flour, and arrowroot flour to form an even, milky solution with no lumps. Add this slowly to boiling berry mixture while stirring evenly. Remove from heat and let cool.

Steps:

• Cook and stir 3 pints blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a saucepan with water over medium-low heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and add butter and remaining 1 pint blueberries; stir gently so blueberries stay whole. Allow to cool.

Steps:

• Cut 4 ounce block of cream cheese in half, then in half again to create 4 pieces. Further cut each piece in half again so you have 8 equal pieces total. Set aside.
• Working with 6 wonton wrappers at a time, separate them out onto a clean work surface. Divide one of the cream cheese pieces into 6 pieces and place a piece in the middle of each wonton wrapper. Place 1 teaspoon of blueberry pie filling over the top of the cream cheese. Do not overfill, as the mixture may ooze out.
• Use your finger to lightly wet the 4 edges of each wonton wrapper. Gently fold in half diagonally to make a triangle, then bring up the remaining two corners so all corners join together. Try not to leave excess air in the wonton, which can cause them to burst. Press seams together to ensure a tight seal. Set wontons aside, covered in a damp paper towel, while you finish making the remaining wontons.
• Preheat the air fryer to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Spray the inner basket with cooking spray and place as many wontons in basket as will fit, without overcrowding. Lightly mist wontons with cooking spray.
• Air-fry for 5 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack and dust with powdered sugar. Let cool while you cook the remaining wontons in batches. Best served slightly warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Pick over blueberries. In a 3-quart heavy saucepan combine all ingredients and simmer, stirring, until reduced to about 2 cups, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer filling to a bowl. Chill filling, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
