Step-by-Step Instructions for Blackberry Shortbread Wedges
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine fresh blackberries, lime juice, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
