Jones
Who says you need a stove to make raspberry sauce? You don't with this easy recipe for a thick, microwave raspberry sauce made with frozen raspberries. And, it only takes about 10 minutes to make and five ingredients.

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowls
  • Mini whisk
  • A rubber spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen raspberries
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grapefruit lemon, lime, or orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 6 tablespoons water

Instructions
 

  • Pour frozen raspberries, granulated sugar, and citrus juice into a microwave-safe bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, combine water and cornstarch. Stir to combine. Mixing the cornstarch water first helps the corn starch to completely mix in.
  • Pour the cornstarch and water mixture into the frozen raspberry mixture and stir to combine.
  • Microwave the mixture on high for five minutes.
  • Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and stir. The consistency should be thick like jam.
  • Enjoy hot or cold.

Notes

Do not just toss the cornstarch into the raspberry mixture or you'll get little cornstarch clumps in the sauce. Mixing the cornstarch water first helps the corn starch to completely mix in. I like to use this mini whisk to ensure the mixture is combined.
