• Meanwhile, puree 1 cup of the raspberries in a blender and pass through a fine mesh strainer or a food mill. Discard the solids. Pour the puree into a small pot and add 1/2 teaspoon of the sugar. Add the reserved liquid from the carrots and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the mixture is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.

Once the butter is melted, add the remaining 1/2 cup of raspberries and saute until the berries are just softened, about 30 seconds. Spoon the reduced sauce over the carrots, garnish with the sauteed berries, and serve.
