Simple Raspberry Sauce

It is raspberry season here in my garden. I decided the other day to use some of my berries to make a simple raspberry sauce. I used my sauce to serve over waffles, but it would also work well for cheesecake, ice cream, crepes, etc.
Now, I wanted my sauce to have chunks of berries. So I only added half of them while making the sauce, then folded in the other half at the end. For a less chunky sauce, just add all the berries at the beginning. If you want a seedless sauce, you can strain the sauce after cooking it to remove the seeds.
You may also need to add more sugar to this simple raspberry sauce if your berries are too tart. Start with the 1/2 cup of sugar. After the sauce is finished, give it a taste. I like a little tartness. You can always mix in some more sugar if needed at that point. Just mix for a minute to make sure the sugar dissolves completely. You can also leave out the lemon juice if you want to, but I love how it brings out the fresh flavor of the berries.
