Homemade Raspberry Sauce Recipe
This recipe is perhaps the quickest and simplest recipe on my blog. All you need is fresh raspberries and sugar to make this easy raspberry sauce. The sauce may be simple, but this delicious topping can make an ordinary cheesecake or chocolate dessert extra fancy. My husband even puts it in his tea for sweetness and raspberry flavor. We especially love to serve it over our New York style cheesecake recipe
Ingredients:
Fresh Raspberries
Granulated Sugar
Instructions:
Using fresh raspberries that have been cleaned well, you will mash together with sugar. Do this until they are mashed well and the sugar and raspberries have turned into a syrup sauce consistency. Store as directed in a freezer bag for long term storage or in a glass mason jar in the refrigerator.
How to Store Raspberry Sauce
One of the best ways to store this raspberry sauce is to place in a glass mason jar with a lid. This makes it easy to pour onto desserts, or just scoop out a few tablespoons as needed. If you are making this in advance, know that it lasts up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
Making this in bulk batches when fresh raspberries are in season is a great option. When doing this, you will want to make sure you choose proper storage containers. Mason jars are a great choice to freeze in if you have space. Another option is to use large freezer bags. No matter what option you choose, make sure to label and date them.
