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.

Stir pear liqueur into the syrup and refrigerate for 1 hour.

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.

Classic Veal Marsala
This classic veal marsala recipe is similar to the veal pesada at a popular Florida restaurant. I've spent extensive time eating my way through Italy and modified this recipe from a restaurant in Bagnione, Italy. I've substituted a combination of low-salt beef and chicken broth in place of veal stock; pounded pork medallions are also commonly substituted.
Strawberry-Banana Fritters
My grandmother made these crispy, fruity treats with apples, and my mother with sweet corn. When I didn't have either on hand, I substituted bananas and strawberries. Serve dusted with confectioners' sugar.
