What You Should Know

Duncan Hines Comstock Pie Filling & Topping, Blueberry (21 oz) is a pantry-ready jarred pie filling you’d typically find in the baking aisle near canned fruit, pie crusts, cake mixes and other dessert toppings. It’s marketed as a convenient shortcut for home bakers who want a “homemade” tasting blueberry pie or an easy topping for cheesecakes, pancakes and ice cream. The brand leans on heritage and nostalgia — Duncan Hines and the Comstock sub-brand evoke old-fashioned home baking, family gatherings, and holiday pies. Label callouts provide a modest health halo: “No high fructose corn syrup,” “More fruit,” and a promise about fruit picked at peak ripeness, but there is no organic or non-GMO certification and the look is straightforward rather than child-targeted. The ingredient list is short — blueberries, water, sugar, modified food starch and citric acid — and the product is a glossy, syrupy compote with whole berries suspended in a gelled syrup; the mouthfeel is thick and spoonable rather than juicy like fresh berries. Packaging is shelf-stable (jar or can) with an open-and-serve convenience message, making it a ritual staple for last-minute desserts, potlucks, and brunches. In plain terms, the filling is an industrially prepared fruit topping with added sweetener and a starch-based thickener to give consistent texture and long shelf life. Use it to top pies, easy cobblers, yogurt, or pancakes when you want a quick, familiar fruit flavor without slicing, sweetening or thickening fresh fruit yourself.

Common Questions about Duncan Hines Comstock Pie Filling & Topping, Blueberry

The blueberry pie filling is a fun ingredient to have in your pantry, but calling it 'healthy' can be a bit subjective. With 18 grams of sugar per serving, it's definitely on the sweeter side, which might not align with everyone's health goals. However, it can be a delightful treat when used in moderation, especially if you're looking for quick ways to elevate desserts!
