Ingredients

  • 6 oz (170g) fresh raspberries
  • ¼ C granulated sugar
  • ¼ C water
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, combine fresh raspberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture slightly thickens.
  • Cook according to your preference for syrup (thinner), or sauce (thicker).
  • For syrup: Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.  Discard any remaining pulp and seeds.
  • For sauce: transfer to a blender or use an immersion blender to make it smoother, or leave as is.
  • Cool completely and store in a clean, airtight glass jar in the fridge for up to 1 week.
