Servings 4
Equipment
- immersion blender
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen raspberries
- ½ cup water
- 3 tbsp honey or more to taste
Instructions
- Place raspberries in a saucepan along with water. Bring to a boil and then reduce to medium-low heat.
- Simmer for 5-7 minutes until raspberries are soft and beginning to thicken.
- Using a potato masher, fork, or a spoon, mash the raspberries and stir.
- When raspberries have reduced and coat the back of a spoon, proceed with the next step.
- If you like a chunky and seedy sauce, add honey and cook for another minute or two. You are finished with your sauce!
- If you like a smooth sauce, transfer sauce to a jar and blend smooth with an immersion blender.
- Then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
- Lastly, stir in your honey and cook for another minute.
- Serve warm right away or store in an airtight jar in the fridge. Sauce will thicken a little more as it cools.

Notes
Sweetness
Everyone has different tastes for sweetness. If you enjoy a sweeter sauce, feel free to add more honey to your liking.
If you feel like your sauce needs a little more zip, try adding a splash of citrus. Lemon juice or orange juice work well.
Storing
The sauce will keep in the fridge for about a week.
The sauce freezes well. If storing in a glass jar, leave plenty of head space at the top of the jar to prevent the jar from breaking.
