Lightly grease a bowl, transfer dough, cover with greased plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (60-90 minutes).

In a small saucepan, combine frozen raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer for 8 minutes until thick like jam. Let cool.

Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-duty pot to 330°F-350°F. Fry 3-4 donuts at a time for 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Place on cooling rack.
