Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon cold water
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the raspberries begin to break down. This will take about 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until fully dissolved to create a slurry.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly. This will take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

If you prefer a smooth sauce, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the raspberry seeds. Press with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.

Step 8

Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving or storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
