Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup pomegranate juice (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, pomegranate juice, honey, and lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Allow the mixture to cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the raspberries break down and the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the slurry into the saucepan while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Stir in the sugar and add the pinch of salt to balance the flavors. Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness or tartness as needed.
Once the sauce has reached the desired thickness, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
For a smoother texture, strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove raspberry seeds, or leave it as is for a more rustic texture.
Serve warm or chilled. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
