Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well to coat the raspberries evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the water and cornstarch until fully dissolved, and then pour the mixture over the raspberries.
Cover the bowl loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or use a microwave-safe lid, leaving a small gap for steam to escape.
Microwave on high for 2 minutes, then carefully remove the bowl and stir the mixture thoroughly.
Return the bowl to the microwave and cook on high for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the raspberries have broken down.
Allow the sauce to cool for 5 minutes to thicken further. Optionally, you can strain out the seeds using a fine mesh sieve for a smoother sauce.
Serve warm or chilled over your favorite desserts, pancakes, or yogurt. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
