I was in the store today and saw these Le Creuset petite au gratin dishes. They were so cute that I had to have them. I had some raspberries and Mascarpone cheese so I came up with this dish. It is really simple and really tasty. You do need a kitchen torch to make it. I bought mine for $10 at the hardware store. It really does come in handy. 
Raspberry Au Gratin
1 lb raspberries
8 oz Mascarpone cheese
2 tbs Cherry preserves
4 tbs Turbinado sugar
Fill the bottom of four 6 ounce gratin dishes with raspberries. Save the rest for serving as a garnish. In a bowl mix together the Mascarpone cheese and the Cherry preserves. Spoon the cheese mixture over the berries. Try to spread it in an even layer. Then sprinkle 1 tbs of Turbinado sugar over each of the dishes. Then with a kitchen torch cook the sugar until it is melted. Serve immediately.
