Freezer Raspberry Sauce

This actually began with a strawberry recipe. Since we've always had a large raspberry patch, I just made a " minor" modification in it.
Freezer Raspberry Sauce is a great topping for ice cream, andsince it's thicker than sweetened berriesit's nice over sponge cake or shortcake, too. My family especially enjoys it spread with sour cream and plain yogurt over waffles. In fact, no on64 ServingsPrep: 20 min. + standing
