How to make Raspberry Sauce
Or I should say – How to get Raspberry Sauce to make itself:
- Put frozen raspberries in a bowl and stir in sugar and wait for the magic to happen.
- Mash with a fork.
And you’re done.
So here’s what’s going on. You’re starting off with frozen berries. When berries are frozen, the water inside them freezes, which expands and breaks the cell walls of the berries. By using frozen berries, the breaking down of the berries into sauce has already started. You can use fresh berries, it will just take a little longer.
Next, macerate the berries by mixing them with sugar. This causes the juices in the berries to be drawn out and intensifies the flavor. They mix with the sugar to form a syrup. I speed things along a bit by sticking the berries in the microwave for about 2 minutes. I let them rest for about 3o minutes to an hour. This could take longer depending on how warm your kitchen is. You know the berries are ready when the juices have been released and the sugar has dissolved, forming a syrup.
Mash the berries to the desired consistency with a fork. You can leave bigger chunks of berries or mash it up more for a smoother sauce.
I keep the seeds in for a more rustic, natural sauce. Don’t want seeds in your sauce? Puree the berries in a blender and strain through a fine mesh strainer. Now you have a more sophisticated raspberry coulis.
