Ingredients to Make Easy Homemade Raspberry Sauce

• Raspberries: Fresh or frozen raspberries work.
• Sugar: To sweeten the sauce. It also helps thicken the sauce.
• Lemon juice: Lemon juice is optional, but a little bit of acid brightens up any recipe, just like adding wine or vinegar. You can even add a dash of salt to bring out the flavors.

How to Make Homemade Raspberry Sauce

Combine raspberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a saucepan, and cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes. The berries will break down and the sauce will thicken as it cooks. At this point, you can either strain the seeds out, puree them in the food processor(blender), or leave them chunky. 

Remove from heat, and transfer the easy homemade raspberry sauce to glass jars.

Allow cooling before serving. If you prefer a smooth raspberry sauce, you can blend it in a food processor, until you get your desired consistency. Serve over ice cream, pancakes, or cheesecake.

What are the Carb of Raspberries ?

Raspberries are an excellent choice for anyone following a ketogenic diet. They are low in carbs, high in nutrients, and can be used in a variety of recipes. Whether you are looking for a healthy snack or a way to add more fruit to your diet, raspberries are a great option.

Can I Use Frozen Raspberries?

Yes, you can! I like to use fresh raspberries. There is nothing more gorgeous than fresh berries when they are in season.

Fresh berries cut down on the time of this recipe and don’t omit any water from being frozen. If you can only find frozen raspberries if you like to keep frozen fruit on hand it should work out fine.
