Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 ounces frozen unsweetened raspberries, divided (about 2 to 2 1/2 cups)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water

Thickening Mixture

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Flavor and Finish

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter

Instructions

  1. Combine and dissolve sugar with raspberries: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 ½ cups of the frozen raspberries, granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved. Heat the mixture until it comes to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure an even cook.
  2. Prepare and add cornstarch slurry: In a separate small cup, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the boiling raspberry sauce while stirring. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for about 4 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  3. Add vanilla and butter for richness: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and the salted butter, mixing thoroughly until the butter is completely melted and incorporated into the sauce.
  4. Cool and finish with remaining raspberries: Let the sauce cool for 15 minutes. Then gently fold in the remaining raspberries. Allow the sauce to come to room temperature before serving. This refreshing sauce is perfect for topping your favorite desserts.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sugar amount according to your sweetness preference.
  • For a smoother sauce, you can strain out the seeds after cooking if desired.
  • The sauce can be refrigerated for up to one week in an airtight container.
  • Warm the sauce slightly before serving if it has thickened too much after refrigeration.
