Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup red or white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1-2 teaspoons sweetener optional: honey, maple syrup, agave, erythritol, or sugar

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Fine mesh strainer
  • Potato masher or fork
  • Whisk
  • Glass jar with lid (for storage)

Method
 

  1. Rinse raspberries and place in a small saucepan. Roughly mash with a potato masher or fork.
  2. Add sweetener if desired, based on the natural sweetness of your berries.
  3. Heat the mixture on low for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to intensify flavors.
  4. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds (optional if you prefer texture).
  5. Allow raspberry mixture to cool completely.
  6. Whisk in vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning or sweetness as needed.
  8. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours before using for best flavor development, though it can be used immediately.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Shake well before each use as natural separation will occur.
  • For a smoother dressing, blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender.
