    Raspberry Topping

    Recipe courtesy Chef Tracy Griffith.

    Ingredients:

    1/2 cup water
    1/2 cup white wine
    1 cup raspberries
    1 cup sugar

    Preparation:

    Combine water and white wine in a medium saucepan over very low heat. Add 1/2 cup raspberries and sugar. Stir with a whisk, then use the whisk to mash the berries. Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until mixture looks like thin raspberry preserves.

    Gently fold remaining 1/2 cup of raspberries into the topping.

    Chef's Notes:

    • You can use strawberries or blueberries instead of the raspberries.

    • This is good over ice cream or pound cake; it's also good between layers of cake covered with whipped cream and additional sauce poured over the cake.

    • Strain through cheesecloth for a smooth, seedless syrup. You can place the syrup in a squirt bottle and use it to decorate your plate or to pour over ice cream or cake.
