Ingredients
 
 

  • 345 g raspberries fresh or frozen
  • 50 g granulated sugar
  • 2.5 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Heat the fresh raspberries in a medium sauce pan, over medium heat, while it slowly soften and liquify. If the raspberries are frozen, it may take longer to get softer, so heating initially on medium-high.
  • As it slowly softens, add the lemon juice. You want to crush the fruit with your spoon or spatula, while stirring.
  • Next, add the sugar, and stir until a light boil.
  • Lastly, add the cornstarch and stir until a rolling boil. Before removing from heat, make sure the majority of the liquid is gone and the raspberry jam is sticking to the spatula. It will run a little, just slowly.
  • Remove from heat and let cool before use. If using in a cake as a filling, placing the jam in the fridge before use to ensure complete cooling is best.
  • When not using, store in the fridge, covered.

Notes

  • Goes great with chocolate and butter biscuits.
  • Always stir, while over eat to prevent burning.
 
To use the raspberry filling in a cake, you can either spread it directly on the cake layers or fill a piping bag fitted with a large round tip and pipe the filling onto the cake layers. You may also want to add a "dam" of buttercream around the cake layers to help keep the jammy raspberry filling in place and prevent it from seeping out the sides of the cake.
