Raspberry Sauce

Raspberry sauce was mentioned in many of the Redwall books, usually when somebody was in the process of pouring it over something else. I decided to try it out. This is great poured over just about anything: cake, ice cream, chocolate, spooned out of the saucepan...ok, that last one was a little extreme, but I had about half a tablespoon I couldn't fit into my mason jars and I had to do something with it...
