Step 1. Start by combining your cornstarch with 4 tablespoons of cold water. Whisk together until well combined, and then set aside.
Step 2. Add the raspberries, sugar, and water to a saucepan. Whisk together and bring to a slow boil.
Step 3. When the raspberries become soft, add the cornstarch mixture.

FAQs
It’s not necessary, but you can if you want a smoother consistency. Just add the warm syrup to a fine mesh strainer or sieve before allowing it to cool.
The syrup is ready when it has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
If your syrup is thinner than what you prefer after cooling, you can return it to the stovetop and simmer it for a few more minutes to thicken it further.
