For the Blackberry Filling
  • 2 cups fresh blackberries or frozen, thawed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice can substitute with lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar less for a lower-sugar alternative
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional but recommended
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder for gluten-free
For the Shortbread Crust
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour if needed
  • 1 cup cold butter substitute margarine if needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt included unless dietary restrictions require otherwise

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare an 8-inch round baking pan by buttering it or lining it with foil.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine blackberries, lime juice, sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 cup for topping.
  4. Press the remaining crumbs into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  5. Prick the shortbread base with a fork, spread the blackberry filling evenly, and sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture on top.
  6. Bake on the lower rack for 20 minutes, then shift to the top rack for an additional 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 90 minutes before slicing into wedges.
  8. Serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Ensure wedges cool completely before refrigerating to maintain texture. Limit juicing of blackberries to prevent a soggy crust.
