Beautiful summer dessert using fresh berries and a splash of pear liqueur. Enjoy a la carte or a la mode. Exceptionally lovely on the Fourth of July. Serve berries by themselves or over vanilla gelato, with a small amount of excess liquid - but it should not be a berry soup.
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups white sugar
- 0.5 cups water
- 0.25 cups pear liqueur
- 1 pound fresh strawberries , hulled
- 1 pint blueberries
- 1 pint fresh blackberries
Instructions

1
Combine sugar with water in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes; remove from heat and let stand 5 more minutes.

Gently combine strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries in a large bowl and pour syrup over the berries to coat. Allow berries to stand for about 3 hours to absorb flavors. Mixture can stand up to 3 days if desired.

You'll love this creamy gochujang spaghetti with ground beef. The easy, spicy, creamy marinara gets a rich, spicy kick from red chili paste.
Chorizo Chili
I was going to attempt a chili recipe I got from a friend and discovered I had none of the ingredients. I already had my chorizo and beef thawed and was set on chili for dinner, so I took what I had in my pantry and went with it. It's a big hit in my house now.
