– 3 cups of rinsed & dried fresh raspberries – 1/2 cup sugar – 1 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice – 5 oz fresh raspberries for topping

Raspberry Sauce

Use a food processor or blender and puree the berries. Then use a fine-mesh sieve over a medium saucepan and press the berry puree through with a spoon, straining away seeds.

Bring to a boil until the color is bright and the sauce is reduced by half, remove from heat and let cool.

Cream together ingredients until it is the consistency that you want.  Spread 2/3 of the filling mixture to the bottom of the cooled crust.

Then spread cooled raspberry sauce over top of the filling layer and smooth. Place raspberries, some whole and some halved, in a half-moon shape on the tart.
