Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon granular sweetener (like stevia or monk fruit, optional)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh raspberries thoroughly under cold water and let them drain in a colander.
In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, water, and lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Cook for 8-10 minutes, mashing the raspberries gently with the back of a spoon as they soften. This will help release their juices.
Taste the sauce and, if desired, add the granular sweetener for additional sweetness. Stir well to incorporate.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
If you prefer a smooth sauce, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract all the liquid. Discard the seeds.
Let the sauce cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container.
Refrigerate the sauce for at least 1 hour before serving. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
