Ingredients

12 ounces fresh or frozen raspberries
½ cup water
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries, 1/2 cup of water, sugar and lemon juice. Stir frequently, and bring to a low boil.
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water.
Slowly stir the cornstarch into the raspberry mixture, taking care not to crush the berries. Simmer until the homemade raspberry sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and gently stir in vanilla.
Serve warm or pour into an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator before serving.

Notes

Makes about 3 cups.
If using frozen berries, you do not need to thaw them before making the sauce.
