There’s no need to embellish this recipe. The simplicity lets the incomparable flavors of fresh, in-season produce shine. The raspberry sauce is made by pureeing fresh raspberries and lemon juice and then straining the mixture to produce a smooth, ruby-hued sauce that can be drizzled over any kind of fresh fruit, yogurt, pancakes, and waffles. When choosing a honeydew melon, look for ones that are pale or light yellow and aren’t overly green. Also press on the round indentation where the stem was attached. If it smells fresh, fragrant, and a little sweet, that’s an indication it’s a ripe melon.
