Fresh Raspberries With Lemon-Maple Sauce

This is a simple and sophisticated merger of flavors that is indeed more than the sum of its parts. Serve it in chilled martini glasses with a lemon twist, and you'll get oohs and ahhs at the table.


3 pints raspberries
1/2 cup sugar-free maple-flavored syrup
1 lemon
directions
Place the raspberries in a bowl. In a small bowl, place the syrup. Grate the zest of the lemon and set aside. Halve the lemon and squeeze to get 3 tablespoons of juice. Mix the juice into the syrup and stir until combined. Pour the lemon-syrup sauce over the raspberries and let marinate for 15 minutes.

Distribute the raspberries among four chilled martini or wine glasses. Top with the sauce from the bowl. Scatter the lemon zest on top and serve immediately. You may also garnish each serving with a long twist of lemon zest or a paper-thin lemon slice cut from an additional lemon. Serves four.

Nutritionist's Note: Blueberries lead the list of antioxidant-fortified fruits, but strawberries and raspberries are close to the top.
