Fresh Raspberry Sauce
Chef John
"This stuff is so beautiful and delicious, you and your Valentine may not even need the cake. This will absolutely work even if you use frozen raspberries, but nothing compares to the flavor of the sauce if you can somehow find and use fresh raspberries."

Ready In
- Combine raspberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until raspberries break down, sugar dissolves, and sauce is heated through, 3 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and press sauce through a fine-mesh strainer to remove seeds. Cool to room temperature, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 45 minutes.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- Depending what you're going to serve the sauce with, you may want to add some water before cooking the berries. If you want something a little thicker, to serve over ice cream for example, then don't add any water. On the other hand, if you want and lighter texture like I did, toss in a few tablespoons of water before heading to the stove. Be careful; we're not boiling and reducing the sauce, so we can't cook out excess liquid.

The sauce was fresh, smooth and addictive! 1. Because the berries vary in sweetness as well as personal preferences vary, I suggest only adding half the sugar in the beginning. After 4-5 minute...

I used frozen unsweetened raspberries and added fresh raspberries then I just warmed it up to break down the fresh raspberries slightly. Nice flavor, not too sweet.

I made this with frozen berries from our garden. Substituted cranberry juice for the water & lemon juice & it turned out delicious. Perfect on GF Cornmeal Cake.
