What You Should Know

Duncan Hines Comstock Premium Strawberry Pie Filling & Topping (21 oz) is the familiar canned fruit companion you’ll spot on a supermarket shelf in the baking aisle, shelved near pie crusts, canned fruit, and other pie fillings and dessert toppings. It fits weekend baking runs, holiday-baking marathons, and casual brunch or pancake mornings when someone wants a fast, fruit-forward finish without making compote from scratch. The Comstock name leans on established American baking tradition—positioned to appeal to home bakers, busy parents, and nostalgic cooks who want classic dessert results with minimal fuss. Labeling leans into fruit and convenience, with marketing copy about “made-from-scratch flavor” and a “no high fructose corn syrup” claim that creates a subtle health halo; there is no organic certification and the ingredient list includes additives like modified food starch and Red 40. Sensory-wise the product pours as glossy, ruby-red syrup dotted with soft strawberry pieces: syrupy, slightly gelled texture that holds fruit in place for filling pies or spooning over waffles and ice cream. It comes in a 21-ounce can (typical metal can packaging) that opens with a can opener or pop-top, and the ritual often involves spooning warm filling into a prebaked shell or spooning over pancakes at the table. In plain terms, it’s a shelf-stable, canned fruit preparation that undergoes industrial processing to stabilize texture and color; the simple ingredient list includes strawberries, water, sugar, a thickening agent, acidulant and artificial color. Nutrition highlights note about 90 calories and 19g sugars per labeled serving, with very low sodium.
