Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 3 to 4 tablespoons pure maple syrup*
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cointreau or other orange liqueur (or fresh lemon juice), optional
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Place the raspberries, maple syrup, vanilla, orange liqueur (if using lemon juice, wait for Step 2), and water in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat. When it starts to bubble rapidly, stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes until thickened and the fruit breaks down.
- Reduce the heat until raspberries bubble at a low simmer. Cook 10 to 12 minutes until thickened and broken down. Remove from the heat and if using lemon juice, stir it in here. Serve warm or refrigerate until serving (store refrigerated up to 1 week).
Notes
*Use 3 tablespoons for a sweet tart sauce, and 4 tablespoons for a sweeter sauce. When we paired this sauce with our flourless chocolate cake, 3 tablespoons was perfect.
