Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water until fully dissolved. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries release their juices and the mixture begins to simmer, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and stir well to combine.

Step 5

Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool for a few minutes.

Step 7

If desired, strain the raspberry sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, using a spoon to press the sauce through.

Step 8

Allow the sauce to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 9

Serve over pancakes, waffles, ice cream, cheesecake, or any dish of your choice.
