One of my favorite modernizations of a classic dish, this wonderful summer dessert can be cooked with any ripened fruit: mangoes, papayas, figs, peaches, plums, cherries—and of course berries. If you use raspberries, throw them in only for the last minute of cooking.
Ingredients
¼ cup ½ cup 2 teaspoons
Method
Make a light sugar syrup by heating the water and sugar together in an 8-inch sauté pan, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Add the lemon juice and berries to the syrup and cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan gently to coat berries with syrup. Add the butter and continue to cook, swirling the berries and butter around in the pan, until the butter is melted.
