Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Corn starch
Thickens the cooked juices into a glossy, sliceable filling when it reaches boiling.
Blueberries
Supply most of the fruit bulk and juice that the starch thickens.
Raspberries
Add tart flavor and extra juice to the filling.
Sugar
Sweetens the filling and balances the tartness of the berries.
Butter
Adds richness and a smoother mouthfeel to the cooked filling.

The step that matters

Cook the starch until it boils. Cornstarch only thickens fully once the mixture reaches a boil, so stopping early leaves a runny filling. Cooling before adding the raw berries keeps them intact and prevents the fresh fruit from thinning the set.
