Steamed Asparagus with Raspberry Sauce
(Serves 4)

A friend and creative cook, Alanna, introduced me to this recipe idea. Sounds odd, but tastes great and looks marvelous.

1 pound of asparagus
1 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 fresh orange or 1 teaspoon frozen orange juice concentrate
1 teaspoon orange zest (optional)

Put frozen raspberries in a saucepot with orange juice or juice concentrate. Simmer, stirring often, until raspberries have fallen apart and the mixture looks like a sauce (about five minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.

Steam asparagus over hot water until bright green and soft, but not mushy. Pour sauce over asparagus. Serve hot or at room temperature. Garnish with orange zest, if desired.
