Ingredients

  • 2 cups raspberries
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ tbsp cornstarch
  • cup water (For Cornstarch Slurry)
  • 1 tbsp butter (Optional-See Note)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (Optional-See Note)

Instructions

  • Put the raspberries, water and sugar in a saucepan
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer, cooking uncovered to reduce and thicken the mixture
  • Prepare a slurry of the cornstarch and water
  • After 15 minutes add the slurry to the reduced mixture and stir constantly to thicken
  • The sauce is ready when it coats the spoon and you can run a finger through the center, leaving a clear line
  • Turn the stove off, pour the sauce in a serving dish or canning jar and leave loosely covered to cool
  • Once the sauce is at room temperature, seal the container or jar tightly and refrigerate it

Notes

The butter - This is not essential but will help add a richness to the sauce. It will also help make the sauce a bit thicker and creamier as it cools.
The lemon - This is also not essential but will help accentuate the flavor of the raspberries and also help act as a preservative if used.
