Making raspberry sauce from scratch is simpler than you might expect. The four ingredients are fresh raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Simple, right?
Sometimes, a simple fruity sauce is needed to add extra flavor—like gravy to mashed potatoes. I like to keep a jar of this raspberry reduction in the fridge to drizzle on my ice cream and yogurt, and I always add it to this lemon sponge pie. See how delicious it looks.
Before we start, I wanted to share another fruity treat with this 3-ingredient Strawberry Jam. It’s just as easy to make this raspberry sauce.

- Serve it hot or cold – it’s great on just about anything.

- Raspberries – I use 12 ounces of fresh raspberries, but frozen berries will work too. You can also use blackberries.
- Granulated sugar -Since raspberries are naturally tart, adding a bit of sugar helps to balance and enhance their flavors in the sauce.

How To Make Raspberry Sauce
The finished sauce is thick, velvety, and took minutes to make.
Using Frozen Raspberries
Using frozen raspberries works as well. Keep the berries frozen until ready to cook. Using them directly from the freezer helps maintain their texture and prevents the sauce from becoming too watery.
Want To Store For Later? Here’s How:
Raspberry sauce can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. For longer storage, freeze any leftover sauce in a tightly sealed, freezer-safe container that will keep for up to six months or more.

Easy Raspberry Sauce
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pint raspberries about 12 ounces
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon water
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, add the raspberries and sugar and cook over medium heat until the sugar is melted and the raspberries are soft. Smash the raspberries to release the juice. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Pour the raspberries into a fine-mesh strainer to strain the seeds, pushing down with a spoon to get as much juice as possible
- Add the juice back to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat to rewarm. Mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry and add the raspberry juice; stir until the mixture thickens.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and pour into a small bowl to cool. Once cooled, store the sauce in an airtight container for up to five days.
- You can freeze the sauce for up to six months. For portions, pour the raspberry sauce into an ice cube tray, or small resealable bags for freezing. Thaw the sauce on the counter or in the fridge.
