Summer Berry and Crystallized Ginger Topping for Ice Cream
Yield: About 1 1/4 cups topping
Of course, just a scattering of fragrant, ripe berries over delectable ice cream is perfectly divine. However if you're looking for a bit of a twist, here's one of my favorites. Look for crystallized ginger with the dried tropical fruits at PCC.
Ingredients
Preparation
NotesIngredients
- 1 cup organic summer berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or blackberries in any combination Add to list
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger Add to list
- 2 tablespoons Cointreau or other orange-flavored liqueur (optional) Add to list
- Sugar or honey to taste (depending on how sweet the berries are) Add to list

Toss all of the ingredients together and spoon over your favorite ice cream.
Notes
You may slice or chop the strawberries if you like. Wash the strawberries before you cut them, and wash any berry right before you are going to use it.
