Raspberry Filling


Knowing how to whip up a raspberry filling is a must! This recipe is a chic and delicious way to bring some pizazz to a ton of dishes: baked brie, use this as a dipping sauce, for cake or pastry filling. Honestly, there are a zillion ways to use raspberry filling and it is easy to make. You tell me some creative uses!

What You'll Need:
1 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar

Instructions
Place the raspberries and lemon juice in a small sauce pan and bring berries to a boil. Strain the mixture through a sieve, pushing the mixture with a spoon or spatula to separate the seeds. Discard the seeds and return the mixture to the sauce pan and put over medium heat. Add the sugar and cornstarch to the mixture and whisk. The cornstarch will cause the filling to thicken. Once the mixture is well combined and thickened, remove from heat. If you are using this as cake filling, it must cool completely before it is spread onto a cake.
