This is delicious! My 22 year old son who has never liked asparagus ate 5 pieces tonight! A definite do-over that will become a staple in my house. The sauce is delicious and can go with a lot of other vegetables, tofu, fish, etc.

To make your own jam, blend 1 1/2 cups raspberries, 1 cup red or black grapes, 1/2 teaspoon agar powder, 2 teaspoons arrowroot. Transfer to a small saucepan and slowly bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Boil for 2 minutes (but no longer), stirring constantly. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Place in a covered container and refrigerate until ready to use.
