Raspberry Sauce and Seed Jam

Ingredients:

• 2 cups frozen raspberries

• 1/2 cup water

• 3/4 cup powdered erythritol (OR 20 drops of berry flavored stevia plus 1/2 cup erythritol- both ways work)

1. Place raspberries and water in a sauce pan. Heat over medium heat.

2. When the berries have been softened, use a potato masher and mash the berries into a liquid.

3. Add the sweetener and stir until fully incorporated.

4. Simmer for 5 minutes, whisking occasionally

5. If you want the seeds in the sauce, leave it as is, or strain out the seeds with a wire mesh strainer.

6. Keep the seeds mixture in a jar and use as a jam if desired (super yummy on cottage cheese or yogurt).

7. Store the sauce in a small jar in the fridge. If the sauce crystallizes, heat in microwave just a little to dissolve again.

8. Use the sauce for drinks (such as Raspberry Champagne Fizz or in a sparkling water for a "mocktail"), in yogurt or cottage cheese, or over baked brie! You could even add some in keto "oatmeal.")
