- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 TBS fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
- ½ tsp vanilla extract

- Combine the cornstarch and one TBS of water in a small cup and mix well.
- Add cornstarch mixture to the hot raspberry mixture in the pan. Stir and boil over medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove the pan from heat and either serve warm or allow to cool and serve at room temperature.

Notes
- Don’t turn the heat on too high. You want to keep it at medium-low to allow the flavors to combine together well without scorching the sauce.
- Keep the sauce in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight storage container.
