It wS good but not thick enough . Any suggestions?
You could add a 1/4 cup of cornstarch. Mix it with the sugar before adding. Don’t skip this step or it you’ll have icky lumps of cornstarch.
I cook my berries first with cornstarch thickening. put sugar and berries in pot wait till they come to almost a boil mix the cornstarch with water and stir in as its boiling let cook for a few min. Then taste and make sure they are thickened. Pour into cold pastry.
I’m making this tonight, and I will try using Wondra Quick-Mixing Flour. It has good thickening properties. 🙂
