1 package frozen unsweetened red raspberries (12-oz.), thawed
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Fresh raspberries (optional)

While cheesecake is cooling, prepare sauce. In a blender container blend thawed berries until smooth. Press through a sieve to remove seeds. In a saucepan combine pureed raspberries, sugar and lemon juice. Heat just until sugar is dissolved; cool. Pour into small container; cover and chill.

To serve, place a slice of cheesecake on a plate and drizzle sauce over. Garnish with fresh raspberries, if desired.
