Raspberry Filling
This filling is smooth and easy to work with.
It's really just jarred jam, but pushing it through a fine-mesh gives it a
smooth velvety texture. It's tempting to skip this step and use
the jam straight from the jar. You'll be happier with the results when
make the extra effort to do this.

Raspberry Filling
makes 1 1/3 c
1 1/2 c jarred raspberry jam (not
freezer jam)
Place a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl. Add the (1,2)jam to the sieve and stir vigorously, pressing the jam through. Scrape
the jam off the bottom of the sieve. Discard the seeds. Refrigerate until
ready to use.
Notes 1.
Even if the jam is seeded, it is good to push it through the sieve to make
it smooth.
2. Other fruit jams or jellies can
be substituted for raspberry.
3. Freezer jam
is often too thin to use as a filling.
