Because we are baking in a mason jar lid with rim, you will want to make sure you use new lids/rims.  Sometimes after canning they will develop rust so reusing what you have may or may not be a good thing in this case.

Whether using small lids and rims or the wide mouth kind, both will make cute little pies.

Simple 2 Ingredient Pies

All you need is refrigerated pie crust and canned pie filling. Select the best canned pie filling with extra fruit for best results.  You will want to  fill the pastry lined lid and rim with more berries than juice to prevent overflow during baking.
