Caramelized Raspberry Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen raspberries, thawed
• ¼ cup white granulated sugar
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• 1 pinch of salt (optional)
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, divided
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• Ice cream or fruit

Steps

1. Place berries on a baking sheet and sprinkle with half of the sugar. Place 5–6 inches under a preheated broiler, and broil until well browned.
2. Remove and set aside until cool.
3. Combine cream, salt, and remaining sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Add the raspberries, and boil until berries break easily.
4. Remove from the heat and set aside until cool. Purée in a food processor or blender until smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan.
5. Pour mixture back into saucepan, and place over medium high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until liquid has reduced by ⅔.
6. Stir in butter and vanilla until smooth, then cool.
7. Pour sauce over ice cream or fruit and serve.
