No matter how big the meal, folks always find room for this delightfully âspecialâ dessert from Nancy Whitford, Edwards, New York. With its hint of citrus and mint, this medley makes a light pretty side dish at casual cookouts or potlucks, Nancy says. Best of all, itâs as fast and easy to make as it is to clean up! Ingredients:
1 cup sparkling wine or white grape juice |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
3 cups sliced fresh strawberries |
2 cups fresh blueberries |
1 cup fresh raspberries |
1 cup fresh blackberries |
1 tablespoon minced fresh mint |
Directions:
1. In a small heavy saucepan, bring wine and sugar to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for about 15 minutes or until reduced to 1/2 cup, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly. Stir in the lemon juice and peel, vanilla and salt.
2. In a large bowl, combine berries and mint. Add syrup and toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Yield: 12 servings.
