Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

1. Rinse the raspberries under cold water and pat them dry.
2. In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
3. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries have softened and released their juices, about 5 minutes.
4. Using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the raspberries to break them up.
5. Continue cooking the sauce for another 5 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the raspberry sauce cool completely.
7. Once cooled, transfer the sauce to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
8. Pour the raspberry sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds, pressing down with the back of a spoon to extract all the sauce.
9. Discard the seeds and transfer the strained sauce to a jar or airtight container.
10. Refrigerate the raspberry sauce for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
11. Serve chilled over your favorite desserts and enjoy!
