Strawberry Raspberry Sauce

by Candace Sampson

How many ways do I love this Strawberry Raspberry Sauce? Well, how about on top of pancakes, with French Toast, stirred in with yogurt, poured over vanilla ice cream, used in an Eton Mess, blended in a smoothie, or used as a dip for cinnamon tortilla chips? The point I’m making is that this Strawberry Raspberry Sauce is incredibly versatile and as you’ll see below, very easy to make.

Pour raspberries, sugar and lemon in a 10 inch pan. Crush the berries with the back of a fork and bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes until mixture becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in quartered strawberries. Cover and refrigerate until very cold.

    That looks like a sauce my DS7 would die for! He loves strawberries! It would be great in the crepes my DH made for Mothers Day! YUM

    Your strawberry raspberry sauce looks delicious!  I’m quite partial to these two fruits and you really got my attention!  In fact, I had a bowl of just raspberries and strawberries this morning for breakfast!  Oooh, and I also love lemon juice, which you use nicely in this recipe.

    Thank you. I love this combination as well. Thinking I may need to try a Strawberry Raspberry Jam this year.
