:''This'' framboise ''article concerns a fruit beer.'' Framboise ''is also a French raspberry eau-de-vie, or clear brandy distilled from fermented fruit.'' Framboise () (from the French for raspberry) or Frambozenbier (Dutch) is a Belgian lambic beer that is fermented using raspberries. It is one of many modern fruitbeer types that have been inspired by the more traditional kriek beer, made using sour cherries. Framboise is usually served in a small glass that resembles a champagne glass, only shorter (could also be a goblet). Most framboise beers are quite sweet, though the Cantillon brewery produces a tart version called ''Rosé de Gambrinus'' that is based on the traditional kriek style. The Liefmans brewery uses Oud bruin beer instead of lambic to make its high quality framboise beer, resulting in a very different taste. Recently, Framboise has become popular outside of Belgium, and can now be found in pubs and supermarkets all over the world.

Sterilize anything added the puree, while taking my chances with the puree itself (rather than heating it up and risking setting the pectins).
