For the first time, I have made the Raspberry Filling recipe.
http://www.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-2503-89-Raspberry-Filling.html
It says that as it sets it will be a jelly consistency. Mine has been sitting and setting for about 4 hours, and it is a tad bit thicker than syrup. How long does it need to set? What should I do to thicken it up? Add more corn starch and water mixture? It tastes great, but it is not thick at all. HELP!

Did you let your cornstarch boil? It will thicken almost instantly when it has. It needs that heat to work. Just adding more will do no good. Reheat it to simmering again and see if it thickens. Then if if does not thicken add some cornstarch to cold water and add it to your recipe. Never just add it. You get clumps.
