Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the raspberries gently under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir the mixture gently to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Use a spoon to mash a few of the raspberries down to release their juices.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with the remaining 2 tablespoons of water, stirring to dissolve completely.
Add the dissolved cornstarch into the raspberry mixture, stirring continuously to prevent clumping.
Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract.
Let the sauce cool to room temperature, then strain it through a fine mesh sieve if a smooth consistency is preferred, removing the seeds.
Serve the raspberry sauce warm or cold over your favorite desserts, pancakes, or oatmeal.
