Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces frozen mixed berries, thawed
- ⅓ cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 10 tablespoons Challenge Unsalted Butter
- 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt

- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Drain the mixed berries thoroughly and place them in a medium saucepan with ⅓ cup of water.
- Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally for about 3-5 minutes until berries begin to break down.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth.
- Add the sugar and lemon juice to the berries, then stir in the cornstarch slurry, ensuring there are no lumps.

- Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl or jar to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Notes
Ensure berries are well-drained to avoid a watery filling.
Chill the filling for a couple of hours for better flavor and consistency.
