   1       lb           Small Belgian endives,
                        -trimmed and quartered
                        -lengthwise
   5       tb           Softened sweet butter
     1/4   c            Eau-de-vie de framboise
                        White pepper
                        Fresh lemon juice (opt)

  Select Belgian endives that are tightly closed and small.
  
  In a skillet, cook the endives in 3 tablespoons of the butter over low
  heat, turning them to coat them with the butter, for 10 minutes.  Add 2
  tablespoons of the framboise, the white pepper, and salt to taste.  Simmer
  the mixture for 1 minute.  Transfer the endives with a slotted spoon to a
  serving dish and keep them warm in a preheated 250F oven.  Add the
  remaining 2 tablespoons framboise to the skillet, simmer the pan juices,
  stirring, for 1 minutes, and remove the skillet from the heat.  Swirl in
  the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, pour the sauce over the endives, and
  sprinkle the endives with lemon juice if desired.
