Ingredients
- Raspberries: You can use frozen or fresh raspberries.
- Sugar: The sugar pulls out the juices in the berries, making this raspberry sauce sweet and flavorful.
- Water: To make it a bit more pourable and not super chunky like a jam.
- Vanilla Extract: This gives it a bit more flavor depth.
- Cornstarch: This is the thickener and it makes the raspberry sauce thicker — more like a topping and less like a syrup.
- Butter: You can use salted or unsalted.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Add the raspberries to a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar and water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Heat the mixture until it comes to a boil, stirring frequently.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and add in the vanilla.
- Next, make a cornstarch slurry. In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water until the cornstarch is well mixed.
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and stir. Allow to boil for 4-5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add in the butter. Stir until the butter has completely melted and is well incorporated into the sauce.
- Allow the raspberry sauce to cool for about 20 minutes and then add in the remaining fresh or frozen raspberries.
- Stir until raspberries are well distributed. Serve this sauce cold or hot over breakfast foods, ice cream, cheesecake and other desserts.
Recipe Tips
Raspberries: You can use frozen or fresh raspberries in raspberry sauce. Adding some extra whole berries at the end allows for a chunky and smooth sauce full of texture throughout the sauce and in my opinion, it’s AMAZING! Feel free to add even more raspberries at the end if you want more.
Be sure to stir while cooking the sauce so you don’t get sticking and burning.

Storing
Store the raspberry sauce in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to a week. I like using a mason jar with fitted lid and rim to contain it because it’s airtight and easy to pour or scoop from. You can freeze the sauce in an airtight container or Ziplock bag for up to 3 months.
