Ingredients
- 10 ounces raspberries (300 grams or around 2¼ cups) I use fresh when in season and affordable, and frozen raspberries at other times or for convenience.
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar (powdered sugar/icing sugar)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice This is roughly the juice of a small lemon.
Instructions
- Heat the raspberries with the confectioners’/icing sugar and the lemon juice until the raspberries start to bubble and break down (just a couple of minutes).
- Pulse the mixture in a food processor or blender until smooth.
- Add small splashes of water and pulse until the raspberries are the right consistency for pouring.
To serve
- Pour into a small to medium sized jug ready for serving. You may also make the purée ahead and keep covered or in an airtight container for up to a week. Or freeze for up to 6 months in a freezer proof container or jar.

Notes
- How much puree the recipe makes: About one and a third cups. This is enough for a small crowd. Feel free to freeze any leftovers (keeps well in the freezer for up to 6 months).
- How to serve: As a simple but classy topping for almost any dessert! But especially chocolate cakes (try with this gooey Swedish chocolate cake), lemon cakes (great with this lemon mascarpone cake) or cheesecakes (see this white chocolate cheesecake recipe).
- Other uses: You can also use raspberry purée as a base to make fruit sorbet or jam, as a topping for waffles, pancakes, french toast, other fruit such as mango slices, or even salads, to add to a smoothie, or to stir into any cold drink. It's also great for breakfast with yogurt and granola, or stirred through oatmeal.
- Variations: Add ½ to 1 teaspoon vanilla, almond or rose essence (these flavors all pair very well with raspberries. Add a pinch of salt to further enhance the flavors. Try the recipe with other berries such as blackberries or strawberries, tweaking the amount of sugar to taste.
