The Raspberries for the Sauce

Homemade Raspberry Sauce is made with frozen raspberries which means this can be made year round! You don’t have to wait for fresh raspberries to be in season at your store!

You can certainly use fresh raspberries, but this sauce is amazing either way!

If using frozen raspberries they need to thawed! If using fresh, make your sure your rinse them!

THE SEEDS! I like my Raspberry Sauce, smooth, sweet and tangy! Which means no seeds allowed! If you like seeds in your sauce, don’t worry about trying to get rid of them!

Making the Sauce

To make Homemade Raspberry Sauce you need the juice! This requires squishing them!

You will need a bowl to squish the raspberries in.

For a smooth sauce without seeds I use a mesh sieve. This allows the raspberry juices to fall into my bowl and the seeds are left behind! A strainer with tiny holes may work as long as the holes are smaller than raspberry seeds.

Just place the sieve over your bowl and squish away. The juice will fall below in the bowl and the seeds will stay in the sieve.

If you don’t mind if seeds are in your sauce, skip the step with the sieve/strainer! Just squish your raspberries so you have the juice!

Next, heat the sugar, cold water and cornstarch in a small sauce pan over medium high heat. Let it come to a boil and add your raspberry juice.

Stir it just until everything is incorporated, (it should thicken right away). Pull it off the heat.

Serving Raspberry Sauce

The Raspberry Sauce (made with frozen raspberries) is tart, sweet. smooth, and the perfect consistency and perfect for your sweet tooth!

The result was a Perfect Raspberry Sauce!!! Serve it as a topping for an ice cream sundae (plain vanilla ice cream with this sauce is perfection), banana splits, cheesecake topping, a topping for a brownie sundae, a mix in for a fruit dip or yogurt, or served over fresh waffles! It’s so delicious you may find yourself eating it with a spoon!

  • 1/2 cup cold water
