Blackberry Bread

[momma213]

I make breads for Christmas gifts some of the best recipes I have got of this site, thank you!, well my dh bought some canned blackberries but forgot he cannot eat them due the seeds and I don't like them so I thought I would use them to make some blackberry bread to add to my bread baking but I cannot seem to find a recipe using canned blackberry pie filling. I make Cherry Pie filling Bread and Apple Pie filling bread but not sure with using the Blackberry pie filling. Does anyone have a suggestion or recipe using this blackberry pie filling to make bread. Thank you

Since you are using canned pie filling and not water or juice packed canned berries, I think you will be fine substituting the blackberry pie filling for the apple or cherry pie filling in your recipe. However, the bread will still have the blackberry seeds in it.

I am assuming that your bread is a quick bread (no yeast used) similar to one of the recipes below.

Apple Pie Bread
Cherry Pie Filling Bread
Double Cherry Quick Bread
Cherry Nut Bread (Cake)
Cherry Loaf Bread

Thank you both. I copied the HIllbilly Pie Recipe and the Cresent Dessert to maybe try them. I thought about just changing the fruit for the Cherry Pie Bread recipe. That is the one I use and everyone that has tried it loves it. I am just not sure if the Blackberries will have more moisture than the Cherries. I understand about the seeds. I do fine many recipes for Blackberry Bread but all call for Fresh or Frozen. Thank you both for your help and recipe links. God bless

If you were using fresh fruit, the consistency would be different, but I don't think there's much variation in the consistency of canned pie fillings.

thats helps too. Thank you. I have just never used canned Blackberry Pie filling so not sure with it.

Hi again Momma,
I am not an expert making breads or pies, but if you compare the dry and liquid ingredients included in two recipes, I think there is not much difference between the two of them, but mainly the difference is they make 1 and 2 loaves, and the 20 oz. canned pie filling contains more sugar in it. Take a look at both recipes:

Blueberry Cobbler Loaf Bread - Makes 1 Loaf bread:
DRY INGREDIENTS:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar (or use Splenda Blend)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon lemon peel, grated

LIQUID INGREDIENTS:
1 cup milk
1/4 cup canola oil
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon flour
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (or use frozen blueberries)

Cherry Pie Filling Bread - Makes 2 loaves:
DRY INGREDIENTS:
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon

LIQUID INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 (20 ounce) can cherry pie filling
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Welcome and thanks for your response, Momma. Hope that comparison can help you to make the final decision.

[momma213]

I very much appreciate you taking the time to do the comparison. It does help.
