I am not sure if I posted this last week or not. I had some raspberries on-hand, that i had picked the previous weekend, and this is what I did with it. Mmmm...drizzled over vanilla ice cream or chocolate? Just great.
Raspberry Cha Cha Sauce
1 pint raspberries, rinsed and dried well
1/3 cup sugar free raspberry preserves*
1/3 cup reduced sugar ketchup**
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 tsp chopped ginger
1/2 habanero pepper, seeded & minced
1/2 tsp lemon zest
2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, chopped
Add all ingredients to food processor fitted with an S blade and puree. Place puree in a food mill OR a strainer and remove the pulp. Add a touch of ascorbic acid powder to the mixture (to keep the color longer). Mix well and using a funnel, add the raspberry sauce to a clean hot sauce bottle or empty jar.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
Can be used on sweet or savory items.
