Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries with the granulated sugar and water.
Step 2
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the raspberries begin to break down and release their juices (about 5 minutes).
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and lemon juice until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the saucepan while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Step 4
Continue cooking the filling on medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. This should take 3-5 minutes. The filling should coat the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until it is fully melted and incorporated, giving the filling a silky texture.
Step 6
Allow the raspberry filling to cool slightly, then strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds if a smoother consistency is desired. This step is optional, depending on your preference.
Step 7
Let the filling cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to completely set and thicken.
Step 8
Use this raspberry filling as a layer in cakes, cupcakes, or pastries. It is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
