I made this using frozen mixed berries and I cut the recipe in half and then in half again because I only needed a little bit. This turned out to be the perfect amount. Even substituting and cutting it down this turned out fantastic! It was incredibly easy to make and quick. It is perfectly sweetened and will taste great on this cheesecake I have. Thanks!

I made a white chocolate cheesecake and a chocolate torte for Christmas dessert. This sauce is WONDERFUL and will go with both! I will put a spoonful on the plate and swipe the back of my spoon across to make a nice design, then place the dessert on it. Your family will think you took lessons!

Thank you Bev for this wonderful recipe made almost according to directions did not put through a food mill. I like the raspberries whole did not need to use any water as the raspberries were quite juicy so had plently of juice they had been in the freezer since this summer.I used 8 cups of raspberries but unfortunatly had to add an extra cup of sugar these raspberries were not very sweet this year but adding the Kirsch I feel just married all the flavours together the Kirsch is the magic!

Very yummy and easy sauce. Poured it over ice cream and drizzled it over a frosted red velvet cake--very pretty. Thanks!
