Their vibrant colors come from the flavonoid anthocyanin they contain, linked to heart attack risk reduction and defense against diseases like cancer and diabetes. Of the various types of berries, raspberries in particular are a generous source of fiber, with low sugar and rich ellagic acid content, offering potential neuroprotective benefits.

]]>The first thing you’ll want to do is add all of the ingredients of your sauce to a medium saucepan on your stove. Once they’re all in and mixed together thoroughly, turn up the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. As the mixture is warming, constantly mix with a wooden spoon in order to ensure that things do not stick or burn to the saucepan.
Once the mix is simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow to cook until it has reached a mildly runny but not completely liquid texture. Allow to cool and serve fresh on whatever food you would like! If you want to save this sauce or have some leftover, you can put it in a seal-tight jar and store refrigerated for up to a week. Enjoy!
