Fresh Raspberry Sauce

This fresh raspberry sauce recipe is perfect for ice cream, cheesecakes, and all kinds of chocolate desserts. Not only does this raspberry sauce recipe taste great, it's fast and easy to make.

Makes about 8 ounces of Fresh Raspberry Sauce
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:

* 2 cups fresh red raspberries, rinsed (use frozen if necessary)
* 1/3 cup white sugar
* 1 tbsp orange juice
* 1/2 lemon, juiced
* tiny pinch of salt

Preparation:
Put all the ingredients into a saucepan, and cook over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Turn the heat to low, and cook, stirring, until the berries become very soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and pass through a fine strainer to remove the seeds. Be sure to press firmly to get all the juice. Mixture will thicken slightly as it cools. Refrigerate until needed.
