Adding sugar to berries brings out their juices. Serve with cream or ice cream over biscuits for a warm fruit shortcake.
Ingredients
3 pints mixed berries (raspberries,
strawberries, blueberries,
huckleberries or blackberries)
1/3 cup sugar or maple syrup
Instructions
1. Clean and hull berries. Cut any large berries (strawberries) in half. Place in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle with sugar or syrup. Cook until berries are warm and soft and start to lose their juice, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and put in a bowl. As they sit, their juices will continue to come out and the flavors will open. Serves 4.
