US - Metric

Instructions

Set aside 2 raspberries for garnish
Combine remaining raspberries with sugar and water in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat, cover and cook until thickened, about 20 minutes.
Press raspberries through a fine sieve and let it cool.
Beat whipping cream in medium bowl until soft peaks form.
Fold strained berries into cream in batches. Spoon into goblets. Top each with 1 raspberry and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Notes

Use fresh raspberries. It will not be the same with frozen as it will turn to mush and lose the fragrance of the raspberry itself.
I would recommend saving a couple of fresh fruits to use as decoration.
Whatever you do, please keep a keen eye on the raspberries when they are cooking. Even at low heat, they managed to escape, and I had to clean them for a bit as the juice was quite sticky.
You can also save some of the raspberry coulis and enjoy it over ice cream.
Do you not have Raspberry on hand? No worries, you can replace them with fresh apricots by using the same cooking method.

Add the fresh raspberry coulis to the whipped cream once they are cooler. The heat will curl the cream and turn it into liquid.
