Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Gently rinse the raspberries under cold water and pat them dry using a paper towel. Be careful not to crush them.
In a mixing bowl, combine the raspberries with the granulated sugar. Toss gently to evenly coat the berries.
Add the freshly cracked black pepper and lemon juice to the bowl. Stir carefully to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed without damaging the delicate raspberries.
Taste and adjust the level of black pepper, if desired, based on your preference for spice.
Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately as a standalone dish, a topping for ice cream or yogurt, or a side for a cheese platter. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves for added fragrance and presentation.
