Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cups orange juice
- 1 tablespoon zest of an orange
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, orange juice, orange zest, and granulated sugar.
Place the pan over medium heat and stir occasionally, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while stirring continuously to avoid any lumps.
Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the pan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly.
Optionally, strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove raspberry seeds for a smoother texture.
Serve warm or chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
