Fresh Raspberry Sauce

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds fresh raspberries
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon water, or as needed
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice, or more to taste

Steps

1. Combine raspberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until raspberries break down, sugar dissolves, and sauce is heated through, 3 to 7 minutes.
2. Press sauce through a fine-mesh strainer to remove seeds. Cool to room temperature; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 45 minutes.
