FRESH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Category: Dessert Sauces

4 cups fresh raspberries, divided
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp framboise (raspberry brandy; optional)
1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice

Combine 2 cups raspberries and sugar in a food processor; process until pureed. Press mixture through a fine sieve over a medium bowl; discard solids. Stir in remaining 2 cups raspberries, framboise, if desired, and lemon juice. Cover and chill. Makes 2 cups (serving size: 1/4 cup)

NOTES: Good over ice cream, pound cake, or angel food cake. The optional framboise adds sublime flavor; you can also use a raspberry-flavored liqueur, such as Chambord.
