Stone Fruit-Cucumber Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette
Cooking the fruit over medium heat enhances its sweetness without rendering it too soft. Thin-skinned pickling cucumbers require no peeling. Raspberry jam provides body and sweetness to the vinaigrette. If it's too thick to whisk, microwave at HIGH for five to 10 seconds.
