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

Directions

Step 1

Begin by rinsing the raspberries gently under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir the mixture gently to combine.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with the remaining 2 tablespoons of water, stirring to dissolve completely.

Step 5

Add the dissolved cornstarch into the raspberry mixture, stirring continuously to prevent clumping.

Step 6

Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract.

Step 8

Let the sauce cool to room temperature, then strain it through a fine mesh sieve if a smooth consistency is preferred, removing the seeds.

Step 9

Serve the raspberry sauce warm or cold over your favorite desserts, pancakes, or oatmeal.
