Summer Berries + Sweet Cream
posted by Mighty Staff
There are few things better than a perfect bowl of mixed (anti-oxidant packed) summer berries picked at the peak of ripeness. Give them a quick kiss with a spoon dipped in ever-so-slighty sweetened and just barely whipped cream - mmm. Heavenly. If you don't have perfect berries don't bother with this recipe. Actually, it hardly qualifies as a recipe. This is another one of those cases where patience, a good eye at the market, and a pocketbook is 90 percent of the challenge. The other 10 percent? A light touch with the berries, being able to spot berries that have gone over the ripeness hump to the other side (a bad berry can spoil the bunch), and a perfect setting in the shade.
Recipe: Summer Berries + Sweet Cream
1/2 cup organic heavy cream sweetened with a teaspoon of fine grain raw cane sugar and whipped until just loose and barely floppy1 cup blackberries
1 cup raspberries
1 cup blueberriesIn a medium bowl gently combine all the berries serve with the sweetened whipped cream on the side. Feel free to skip the cream and serve the berries as a side to a bowl of oatmeal or granola and yogurt in the morning.
Serves 4.
