Raspberry Filling Recipes

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan, combined all of the ingredients and slowly bring to a boil over medium-high heat (keep stirring until thickened for best results).
• Let cool completely before spreading onto cake.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add the preserves, sugar and liqueur; beat until stiff peaks form. Spread between cake layers.

Steps:

• Fresh raspberries and vanilla sugar, recipe follows
• For the crepes: Preheat the oven to 150 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a blender, add the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, and salt. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth batter. Preheat a 10-inch nonstick crepe pan or skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 cube of butter to the pan. When the butter has melted, add 1/4 cup of batter and quickly tilt the pan to form an even coating of batter on the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 minute until set and slightly browned. Using a heat-resistant spatula, carefully loosen the sides and gently flip the crepe over. Cook for 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter. In a small bowl, mix together the jam and vanilla extract. Using a 1-teaspoon measuring spoon, spoon 2 teaspoons of the jam mixture into the center of each crepe. Using the back of the spoon, spread the jam evenly over the crepes leaving a 1/2-inch border. Starting at the nearest edge, roll the crepes into tube shapes. Arrange the crepes on the prepared baking sheet and place in a warm oven, for up to 20 minutes, until ready to serve.
• For the whipped cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Continue to beat until the cream holds stiff peaks.
• Transfer the crepes to a serving platter and sprinkle with vanilla sugar. Serve with whipped cream and fresh raspberries.
• Vanilla Sugar:
• Add the sugar to the bowl of a food processor. Using a paring knife, slice the vanilla bean in half, lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds. Add the vanilla seeds to the sugar. Pulse 10 to 15 times until the vanilla and sugar are combined. Cut the empty vanilla pod into 1-inch pieces and add to a glass mason jar. Add the vanilla sugar to the jar and seal. Shake the jar before using.
• Yield: 2 cups

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Roll the cookie dough into small balls and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. In a medium bowl, whip the cream cheese with the whipping cream and sugar. Let the cookies cool and begin piping the cream and the cookies together to form a dome shape. Once shaped, spread the remaining cream all over to completely cover the cookies. Top with the apricots, spoon the raspberry filling around the plate, and sprinkle the almonds over the top.

Steps:

• Combine raspberries, sugar, 3/4 cup water, and lemon juice in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl. Pour mixture back into the saucepan.
• Mix remaining water and cornstarch together in a bowl until dissolved; add to raspberry mixture. Bring mixture to a boil; cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Cool filling in refrigerator, at least 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Crust:.
• Combine flour and salt in a medium bowl.
• Cut in shortening with either a fork or pastry blender.
• Sprinkle in cold water 1 teaspoon at a time until flour is moist enough to form a dough.
• On a lightly floured surface, role the ball of dough out into an 8 inch circle.
• Repeat above steps to make second crust.
• Place first crust into pie plate and set second crust aside
• Filling:.
• Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
• Pour mixture into a 8 inch pie plate lined with one crust.
• Lay other crust on top, trim edges and minutes.
• Bake at 425 for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Steps:

• Drain raspberries, reserving 1/3 cup syrup. In 1-quart saucepan, mix sugar and cornstarch. Stir in reserved raspberry syrup. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute longer.
• Stir raspberries into sugar mixture. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Leftover filling can be tightly covered and refrigerated up to 5 days; do not freeze. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature to soften; stir before using.
