Honemade Raspberry Sauce

This recipe for homemade raspberry sauce was divine. On a cozy night off work, I decided to use some of the spare frozen raspberries hiding in the freezer to makea delicious and fresh dessert. I loved this recipe in particular because it did not call for as much sugar as most dauce recipes too, and I was also able to substitute flour for corn starch as a thickener. 

Note thay when using flour as a sub for corn starch to add three times as much flour than needed for corn starch and mix in slowly to avoid clumping.

It was perfect slightly warm over ice cream. I have attached the recipe below. Also note you can freeze any extra sauce for later, as this made more than two cups. We also chose to forgo straining because we enjoy whole berries and seeds.
