Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries begin to break down and release their juices (about 3-4 minutes).
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and lemon juice to create a smooth slurry.
Gradually stir the cornstarch slurry into the raspberry mixture, ensuring no lumps form.
Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy (about 3-5 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until fully melted and incorporated for added richness.
Pour the raspberry filling into a heatproof bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature before using, or refrigerate until needed.
