This homemade raspberry filling recipe is simple and easy. It can be made from fresh or frozen raspberries. Also, this filling is so versatile that it goes well between cake layers, macarons, tarts, and pies, as well as on the side of a delicious dessert.
Ingredients
8oz(225g)Raspberries
¼cup(50g)White sugar
1tbspCornstarch
1tbspLemon juice
½cup(120ml)Water(see notes)
½tspSalt
Instructions
In a saucepan, over medium heat, add the raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water. Cook on low to medium heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Use a vegetable masher to mash some of the fruit.
Make a cornstarch slurry by combining the remaining water with cornstarch. Add it to the raspberries. Continue to cook on medium heat until the filling comes to a boil and becomes thick and glossy. Remove and let cool for a while.
At this point, you can pass the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Or leave it fruity and chunky, just as I have done here.
Remove the mixture and pour it into a large bowl or mason jar. Let it cool completely, or use it as directed in your recipe.
Enjoy!
