   3. Brush room temperature butter around two individual serving sized ramekins. Make sure to do some upward strokes to butter around the sides. Add in the granulated sugar and shake until coated and discard unused sugar. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes. Once they are chilled, use a pastry brush, to paint upward strokes with your raspberry sauce mixture (use the jam sauce, not the puree mixture) around the sides of the ramekins (4-6 strokes). Apply liberally but try not to disturb the sugar. Return to the freezer.
