Braised Endive with Framboise

Directions

In a skillet, cook the endives in 3 tablespoons of the butter over low heat, turning them to coat them with the butter, for 10 minutes.

Add 2 tablespoons of the framboise, the white pepper, and salt to taste.

Simmer the mixture for 1 minute.

Transfer the endives with a slotted spoon to a serving dish and keep them warm in a preheated 250 degrees F oven.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons framboise to the skillet, simmer the pan juices, stirring, for 1 minutes, and remove the skillet from the heat.

Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, pour the sauce over the endives, and sprinkle the endives with lemon juice if desired.
