Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups raspberries fresh or frozen
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, lemon juice, and sugar over medium heat. Stir gently to coat the raspberries in the sugar and lemon juice.
  • While the raspberries are heating, whisk together 1 tablespoon of corn starch and 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl until smooth. Once the raspberry mixture starts to bubble, slowly add the cornstarch mixture, stirring continuously.
  • Continue to cook the raspberry mixture, stirring frequently, for about 3–5 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. The filling should be glossy and coat the back of a spoon.
  • Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the filling cool. You can strain the filling through a fine mesh sieve.
