Strawberry and Blueberry Filling

For this easy no bake recipe, you can make homemade filling from fresh, sweet, summer berries. It is the best option. But, if you don’t have enough time just use canned blueberry and strawberry filling. Since, this is a no bake dessert, blueberry and strawberry pie filling should be thickened with some jello or gelatine.
