I just couldn’t resist having this variation on my site. It came from Terry who presented the Razzleberry Pie Filling in a great picture and I had to find out what combination of berries made up the Razzleberry name.
Terry used fresh strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries. You could use frozen berries just make sure the thaw them before measuring.

These jars look amazing and I am so excited to show off Terry's work! Thanks Terry for letting me share this awesome recipe adaptation!

Instructions
- Wash/clean berries. Combine in large pot. Combine sugar, Clear Jel, and cinnamon in large saucepan. Add water, stir using a wire whisk for a better consistency and continue stirring constantly until it bubbles and thickens. You must stir constantly for smooth product! Add lemon juice quickly, and boil for one minute.
- **Do not decrease amount of lemon juice, this is added for safety.
- Remove from heat and fold in the berries gently. Fill 7 hot qt jars. Leave 1 1/2 inches head space. Remove air bubbles as you fill by pressing down the filling with your plastic spatula.

Posted on: August 23, 2019The amount of total needed, 6 quarts, does not equal the combined recommended amount of each berry? ♀️

Posted on: August 23, 2019If using frozen berries, how much do you measure?
Karen
Posted on: August 23, 2019Roughly how many cups of fruit was this? I’m using mixed frozen fruit. Taken literally at 6 quarts that is 24 cups of fruit. Is this correct?

Posted on: August 23, 2019This is exactly the recipe I’ve been looking for, but I have a question. It says 4 6 oz raspberries and blackberries. Does that mean 24 oz each? Or 12 oz each?

Posted on: August 23, 2019I need clarification, please. Is it 24 oz of blackberries AND 24 oz of raspberries, or 12 oz of each? Thank you.

Posted on: August 23, 2019Does two cups clear jel make the filling too thick ? Also in step 6 it sais to add cherries , is that done just before baking a pie or are the cherries suppose to be added to the pie filling before hot water bathing it ?
