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."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- 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.

- 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 berries because the freezing process helps break down the berries and allows you to extract more juice. I also used a stainless steel mill to separate the seeds from the syrup aft...

I only had 22 oz of fresh raspberries, so I adjusted the sugar a bit and stuck with the 2 tsp of lemon juice. I did not add any water. After cooking I pulsed the fruit in the blender just a bit ...

Sauce was simple and delicious. I poured it on top of my pancakes. I didn't strain the seeds I happen to like raspberry seeds. Also I used light brown sugar and only 1/8 cup of white sugar.
