Fresh fruit desserts are one of our favorite summertime perks. We especially like to mix different textures at different temperatures, as in this simple recipe which calls for warm raspberries served over cool orange slices. Make sure to get a bit of raspberry and orange in your every bite. This is one fruit dessert that will have you willfully foregoing an ice-cream treat; it makes the perfect sweet complement to a satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
Remove the skin and white pith from oranges. Slice the oranges crosswise and arrange on 4 dessert plates. Combine sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon in a small saucepan; stir over low heat until bubbling, but not boiling. Add the frozen raspberries and stir gently until the berries are warm and only just thawed. Spoon raspberries over the orange slices and serve immediately.
