I adore raspberries. I love how cute and adorable they look all red and fuzzy. Though don’t be deceived by their cuteness. They really pack a punch of flavour with their natural tartness, which I love! They are loaded with nutritional benefits, as it is part of the berry powerhouse family. The only downside is they tend to go bad FAST! So how can you use these tasty gems up quickly? This sauce is the answer! 

It is super easy to make and is the perfect way to enjoy your raspberries longer than you could if you kept them fresh. It’s extremely versatile too, so really what’s not to love with this sauce? Not convinced just yet? Check the list below with some of the endless ways you can use this sauce.

5 ways to use this Easy Raspberry Sauce

• YOGURT: Elevate your yogurt by just adding a spoonful of this sauce. You’ve instantly got yourself an all-natural fruit yogurt, minus all the additives and sugar, from many store-bought yogurts.

Ingredients

Easy Raspberry Sauce

• 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen)
• ½ tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2-3 tsp Chandler Honey Créme Brûlée Honey* (adjust to taste)

Equipment

• saucepan
• small bowl
• cutting board
• paring knife
• strainer (or fine sieve)
• lemon juicer (or can squeeze by hand)
• spoons

Instructions

Preparation

• Wash raspberries, drain and set aside. Wash, and juice the lemon. Set aside.

Easy Raspberry Sauce

• Heat saucepan on medium. Once heated, add lemon juice and Chandler Honey Créme Brûlée Honey until it dissolves.
• Once the lemon and honey mixture starts to bubble, add in the raspberries. Turn down the heat to medium-low and keep mixing to ensure it doesn’t burn. The mixture may froth a little, but it will settle.
• Cook for about 3 minutes if you using fresh raspberries. Once the mixture thickens, you will know it is done. If using frozen raspberries, cook for 5-6 minutes. Once done, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
• Once cooled, you have yourself a glorious, Easy Raspberry Sauce! You can use it in a variety of ways such as topping for ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, parfaits plus so much more. If you want an Easy Raspberry Syrup, follow the next steps to do so.

Easy Raspberry Syrup

• Take your prepared Easy Raspberry Sauce and strain it with a fine-mesh sieve. Add the liquid back into the saucepan, and simmer on low for another 3-5 minutes or until it thickens to a syrup consistency.
• Be sure to stir constantly to avoid burning. You will notice the colour starts to deepen to a darker red. The sauce will become thick enough to slowly drip off your spoon, similar to caramel sauce. Cook until you reach the consistency you desire and remove from heat.
• Then your Easy Raspberry Syrup is done. Let it cool and enjoy! It’s perfect as a glaze for doughnuts, like my Vanilla and Raspberry Doughnuts, as well as cakes, or on top of ice cream. The possibilities are endless! Be sure not to throw away that precious pulp you strained from the Easy Raspberry Sauce! It can be used as Raspberry Pulp for things like filling for cakes, doughnuts (like my Vanilla and Raspberry Doughnuts), crumbles, or cheesecakes.
• If you want to skip preparing a cooked sauce, here’s a quick shortcut to some berry goodness!

Easy Raw Raspberry Sauce - Shortcut

• Mash the raspberries with a fork. Then strain the Raspberry Pulp through a fine sieve with a spoon. It takes time and patience but is well worth the effort. Reserve the Raspberry Pulp for items noted above and set the liquid raspberry 'juice' aside for things like creating a glaze, salad dressing, or even lemonade!

Notes

* Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking.

NOTE: Store in the fridge for a week in an air-tight glass container or jar.

Enjoy!

I wanted to share a recipe that not only looks fun and festive for Valentine’s Day but is something I love with all my heart, strawberries.

Oh, beautiful, glorious strawberries, how you have such a special place in my heart. Strawberries are absolutely, positively my favourite fruit. There is no other. Bar none.

So why do I love them so much? Honestly, where to even begin? Strawberries are naturally lovely, sweet, slightly tart, juicy, and just so beautiful with their radiant red hue. They are so versatile they can be eaten as a snack, added to a salad, cereal, dessert; the possibilities are endless.

Now, take this beautiful ruby red fruit, and cook it up, and it transforms into something completely different. It takes this fruit that can sometimes slightly tart, and sweetens it up more.  It becomes a luxurious glossy sauce that can make anything feel more fancy and decandant! It is also free of additives and loads of sugar that can be found in store-bought strawberry sauces or jams, so a much easier and healthier choice!

Simple Strawberry Sauce

This 3 ingredients simple strawberry sauce is super versatile, an absolute cinch to make, and sure to be your go-to recipe for elevating your treats!

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 2-2½ cups fresh strawberries (or frozen)
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 3 tbsp honey* (or maple syrup for vegan-friendly)

Equipment

• saucepan
• cutting board
• paring knife
• medium bowl

Instructions

Preparation

• Wash, hull, and cut the fresh strawberries into small bite-size pieces. Set aside. Wash, and juice the lemon. Set aside.

Strawberry Sauce - Version 1

• Heat saucepan on medium. Once heated up, add lemon juice and honey until it dissolves.
• Once the lemon and honey mixture starts to create small bubbles, it’s time to add the strawberries. Turn down the heat to medium-low, and keep mixing periodically to ensure it doesn’t burn. The mixture may froth but that is totally normal and will settle.
• Cook for about 10 minutes, the mixture will start to turn glossy and the fruits should be almost turning into a jam-like texture, when you see that, it is time to cut the heat. If using frozen strawberries, it will take another 3-5 minutes.
• Once cooled strain the sauce. Reserve the strawberry jam for things like pancakes, filling for cakes, or cheesecakes. With the remaining sauce, you have a few options. You can enjoy it as it is and it's great mixed in with yogurt. But if you are looking for a Strawberry Syrup you can do that too.
• Let it cool until it comes to room temperature, transfer to a jar or bowl and your sauce is ready to enjoy!

Strawberry Syrup

• Add the strained sauce, add back to the saucepan, and simmer on medium-low for another 5-10 minutes, until it thickens to a syrup consistency. Stir constantly to avoid burning. You will notice the colour starts to deepen to a deeper red. The sauce will become thick enough that it will have a slower drip off your spoon similar to a thick caramel. Cook until the consistency you desire, 5-10 minutes and then cut the heat, you now have Strawberry Syrup.

Strawberry Sauce - Version 2

• Now if you prefer a sauce without the fruit pulp at all you can blend the strawberries first. Then cook them down just the same as the above Strawberry Sauce steps. It will become a thick, luscious sauce.

Notes

* Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking.

NOTE: Store in the fridge for a week in an air-tight glass container or jar.
