Mulberry Pie Filling is a rich, glossy, and perfectly thickened homemade fruit filling made with fresh mulberries. This easy recipe is ideal for pies, hand pies, cobblers, and dessert toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh mulberries, stems removed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Rinse mulberries gently, remove stems, and pat dry.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine mulberries, sugar, salt, lemon juice, and water. Stir gently.
  3. Allow the mixture to simmer as the berries release their juices, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
  5. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering berry mixture while stirring continuously.
  6. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the filling thickens and becomes glossy.
  7. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before using in pies or desserts.

Notes

  • Adjust sugar depending on the sweetness of your mulberries.
  • If filling is too thick after cooling, stir in 1–2 tablespoons warm water.
  • If too thin, reheat and add a small amount of cornstarch slurry.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container.
