Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by buttering it generously and dusting with flour.
  2. Toss together the fresh blackberries, lime juice, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining granulated sugar, flour, and salt. Add cold butter and cut into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press the remaining shortbread mixture into the bottom of the prepared cake pan, then prick the surface lightly with a fork.
  5. Spread the blackberry filling evenly over the shortbread crust and sprinkle reserved crumbs on top.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes then switch to the top rack and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Then refrigerate for at least 90 minutes before slicing.
