Ingredients
- 12 oz raspberries fresh or frozen; about 3⅓ cups
- 4 to 6 tablespoons granulated sugar adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice or more
Instructions
- Heat: Add the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice to a saucepan and bring to a boil while mashing the raspberries to break them down. Once it boils, turn off the heat and adjust with more sugar or lemon juice as needed.12 oz raspberries, 4 to 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Strain: Strain the raspberry sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Press firmly to extract all of the pulp as that is what thickens the sauce. If desired, thin with a teaspoon of water at a time, keeping in mind the sauce thickens as it cools (the sauce in the photo was not thinned). See Note 1.
- Serve: Add to cheesecake, cakes, ice cream, or other desserts. Enjoy!
Notes
Makes approximately 1 cup of raspberry sauce. Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Straining: Some recipes call for pureeing the sauce first, but I find that unnecessary, making it harder to strain the seeds out since they become smaller in size. However, you can puree the sauce if you prefer.
