1. Follow the instructions on the polenta package, or gradually add 1 cup yellow cornmeal to the saucepan with 4 cups boiling water. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly until thick and creamy, about 15 minutes, adding more water if a thinner blend is desired. Remove from heat and add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Pour the champagne into a small saucepan. Add sugar slowly, one spoon at a time. Bring to a boil.
3. Continue boiling on medium-high until the liquid is reduced by almost one-half, about 12 minutes.
4. Remove from heat. Whisk in the butter and lemon zest.
5. Divide the polenta into four servings, put a dollop of the raspberry preserves in the center of each, and drizzle with champagne reduction.
