7TO MAKE RASPBERRY SAUCE

Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add sugar and raspberries and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved and raspberries have broken down. Sauce will be tart – add more sugar if you prefer it sweeter.

Mix cornstarch and water until smooth, and pour mixture into saucepan, stirring constantly. Sauce should thicken quickly. Strain sauce through a fine mesh sieve and discard seeds.
