Raspberry Sauce Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
Begin by gently heating the raspberry puree in a saucepan until it reaches a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). This will make it easier to incorporate the other ingredients effectively.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix together 30 grams of sugar and 4 grams of apple pectin. Gradually sprinkle this mixture into the heated raspberry puree while stirring continuously. This method ensures that the pectin integrates smoothly without clumping.
Step 3
Continue to heat the mixture until it comes to a strong boil. Maintain a steady boil for about 1-2 minutes, then promptly remove the saucepan from the heat. This process activates the pectin, helping the sauce to thicken.
Step 4
Pour the raspberry sauce into a piping bag for easy application later. Allow the sauce to cool completely at room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator. It is best enjoyed after it has fully chilled, enhancing the flavors and texture.
