This is where I pretend for a moment that I'm a food blogger...and then I look at my photos and lack of Photoshop color touch up and realize, no, I'm just sharing a yummy recipe.
I will stand by my first photo, though. It's just pretty. There's no getting around it.
Raspberries were on sale the other day at the supermarket, so I bought 11, 6 oz packages, took them home and put them in the fridge. I took them out 2 days later, and was able to find a little over 2 cups worth that hadn't already begun to mold.
Still, the ones that were left were beautiful.
Macy and I considered putting some directly in the pancake batter she was making, then decided to save all of them for a raspberry sauce, instead.
So, I went looking for a recipe, adapted one and here we go:
Put 2 cups of fresh berries, 1/3 c sugar and 1 3/4 c water in a saucepan. Stir and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Mash the berries in the pan (I used an old-fashioned potato masher) then pour berries and liquid through a fine mesh sieve over a 2 c liquid measuring cup. Mash the berries against the sieve to remove the seeds and press some of the pulp through the sieve.
If there isn't a full 2 cups of liquid, add water to bring up to the 2 c line. Return to pan and return to a boil. Add 1 - 2 T. water to 1.5 T corn starch in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Stir corn starch mixture into the boiling liquid. Reduce heat and stir rapidly until thickened.
Serve with pancakes...or over waffles...or biscuits...or scones...or cheesecake...or just grab a spoon.
We had breakfast for dinner. Yum.
Enjoy!
Love from the farm,
Teri
