📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water until fully dissolved. Set aside.

2. In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.

3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries release their juices and the mixture begins to simmer, about 5 minutes.

4. Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and stir well to combine.

5. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.

6. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool for a few minutes.

7. If desired, strain the raspberry sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, using a spoon to press the sauce through.

8. Allow the sauce to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.

9. Serve over pancakes, waffles, ice cream, cheesecake, or any dish of your choice.
