What is melba sauce?

Melba sauce is a sweet and tangy fruit sauce that is traditionally made from raspberries, sugar, and cornstarch. It is often served as a topping for desserts such as ice cream, cheesecake, or pancakes. Melba sauce is named after opera singer Dame Nellie Melba, who was a famous Australian soprano in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
