| Grilled Sweet Corn with Raspberry Sauce |
Here’s a simple recipe for a sweet/tart sauce featuring
fresh raspberries that were picked in my Mom’s back yard.
The flavor is exceedingly vibrant with complexity provided
by using raw, unfiltered honey – added at the very end, off the heat so those subtleties
are preserved.
I’ve enjoyed it is a dressing for salads and cold veggies; it
works well without any added oil or salt.
It’s a bit thin. If
you prefer thicker, just add a ½ tablespoon or more of prepared mustard and adjust
the sweetness if necessary.
This works with any fresh or frozen berry.
I made a second version of the recipe by adding a seeded
habanero to the saucepan.
I loved the flavor of the hot sauce, but when steam started
coming out of my ears I knew I’d made a mistake.
Next time, I’ll use a pepper not quite as intense.

| Easy Raspberry Sauce |
Sweet/Sour
Raspberry Sauce
Makes 2 Cups
2 Cups Raspberries (fresh or frozen)
½ Cup Rice Vinegar
¼ Cup Lemon Juice
1-4 TB Honey
Place all ingredients except honey in a saucepan over low
heat.
At the simmer, continue cooking for 12-15 minutes, until
berries fall apart.
Cover pan and let cool 20-40 minutes.
While still warm, stir in honey one tablespoon at a time,
tasting after each addition. (I used 4 TB)
When sweet and sour are in balance or to your taste, strain
through a sieve to remove the seeds.
Cover and refrigerate
Use for basting grilled chicken and pork, to dress greens
and cold vegetables, or as a base for pan sauces (just swirl in a few
tablespoons and a bit of butter when deglazing the pan).
