Red Raspberry Sauce
"This simple, three-ingredient sauce is very versatile. Right now I am enjoying it with freshly baked angel food cake, but I would love to try it with grilled peaches, and also with something chocolatey! I also think it would be nice with chicken or maybe a wheel of warm brie. It is a chunky sauce, with the texture determined by how much you crush the berries when you mix it. I more or less mashed mine, but I think leaving at least some of the berries whole would make a more elegant sauce. Add in a bit of your favorite liqueor or extract to vary the possibilities even more (I tried it with some Triple Sec - very good!). This recipe originates from The Complete Cooking Light Cookbook, and it makes approximately 1 1/2 cups."

I've been making a number of fruit sauces recently, & without a doubt I'll be making this particular one again & again ~ IT'S ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! Great on ice cream or with a vanilla yogurt or cottage cheese, & as a hot sauce on chicken breast, very very nice! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Healthy Choices ABC tag] -
I used frozen raspberries from the garden and misread the recipe so I brought it to a boil after stirring them into the hot hot jam/lemon juice. Still wonderful! Thanks for posting. -
Yum! Thanks! This sauce is so easy and quick to make.

Amazing on chocolate crepes. I used frozen raspberries since the fresh ones would have cost me $10 for 2 1/2 cups! Still, the sauce was delicious and everyone at my Mothers' Day brunch raved! -
Could not have been easier. Served over Grilled Pork Tenderloin. A hit with the whole family and will make again. Thanks for sharing. Menu #9281

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D
We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank).
I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!!
I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
