INGREDIENTS
Berry Puree:
• 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
• 1 cup hulled and quartered fresh ripe strawberries
• 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/4-1/2 cup sugar
Lemon Sauce:
• 1/4 cup prepared lemon curd (see Tip)
• 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream, crème fraîche or plain Greek yogurt
Berries:
• 4 cups fresh strawberries
• 3 cups fresh blueberries
• 3 cups fresh blackberries
• Sugar to taste (optional)
• 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish
DIRECTIONS
- To prepare puree: Puree 1 1/2 cups raspberries, 1 cup strawberries, orange juice and lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Add sugar to taste. Set aside at room temperature for up to 3 hours or cover and refrigerate.
- To prepare sauce: Place lemon curd in a medium bowl and gradually stir in sour cream (or crème fraîche or yogurt). Transfer to a serving dish, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- To prepare berries: If refrigerated, remove berries and the berry puree from the refrigerator about 3 hours before serving to bring them to room temperature. (Room-temperature berries and puree have the best flavor.) About 1 hour before serving, hull and quarter the strawberries and combine with the blueberries and blackberries in a large mixing bowl. Toss with the puree. Adjust the sweetness if necessary by gradually adding sugar to taste, 1 tablespoon at a time. Cover and let stand at room temperature.
- Just before serving, add the raspberries to the bowl, tossing very gently with two spoons and being careful not to break up the berries. Transfer to a serving dish, if desired, and garnish with mint. Serve each portion of berries topped with about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the lemon sauce.
