Raspberries with Mascarpone

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons water

1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind

2 cups fresh raspberries

Instructions:

1) Combine 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons water, and 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave at HIGH for 30 seconds or until sugar dissolves.

2) Place 2 cups fresh raspberries in a medium bowl. Drizzle sugar mixture over raspberries; toss gently to combine. Let raspberry mixture stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Top each serving with 1 teaspoon mascarpone cheese or whipped cream.

You can also swap strawberries or blackberries for the raspberries, or try a combination of berries like I did. Alot of people also like the sugar syrup with a combination of peaches and raspberries, definitely a mouth-waterer.
