Ingredients

1 pint fresh raspberries 

1/4 cup sugar 

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 

Pinch of salt 

Preparation

Combine raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a small, nonreactive saucepan over low heat. Cook until berries release their juice and just start to break down, about 5 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to press berries through a fine sieve; discard solids. Let cool, and refrigerate until ready to use.
