Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir well to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Allow the sauce to simmer for about 7–10 minutes, or until the raspberries break down and the sauce starts to thicken.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Optional: For a smooth sauce, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds, pressing the sauce through with the back of a spoon.
Transfer the sauce to a serving container or jar and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Use as a topping for pancakes, waffles, ice cream, yogurt, cheesecake, or any dessert of your choice.
