Preparation

Step 1

Combine first 13 ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Stir in blueberries, and let mixture sit overnight in the refrigerator to allow flavours to combine, and raisins to plump.

If not using immediately, either pack closely in sterilized jars and process, or freeze.

To use, spoon into pre-made pie shells and bake for approximately 20 minutes.

Yields approx 6 cups of mixture.
