Stewed Berries With Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients

3 half-pints fresh raspberries

2 half-pints fresh blueberries

1 1/2 cups sugar

3/4 cup water

2 tablespoons Framboise (optional)

2 pints good-quality vanilla ice cream

Preparation

Combine 2 half-pints raspberries with the blueberries, sugar, and 3/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook uncovered over medium to low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is a syrup and the berries have released their juices, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the remaining half-pint of raspberries and the Framboise, if using.

Place 3/4 cup stewed berries in a bowl. Add a large scoop of ice cream to each bowl, and serve immediately.
