Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and water.
Step 2
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries begin to break down and release their juices (about 3-4 minutes).
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and lemon juice to create a smooth slurry.
Step 4
Gradually stir the cornstarch slurry into the raspberry mixture, ensuring no lumps form.
Step 5
Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy (about 3-5 minutes).
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until fully melted and incorporated for added richness.
Step 7
Pour the raspberry filling into a heatproof bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature before using, or refrigerate until needed.
