The
berry marinade
The berries
can be a mix of blueberries, strawberries, and black and red
raspberries. Wash all the berries and remove the green from the
strawberries. Cut the strawberries into pieces the size of the
smaller raspberries. Marinate all the berries for a couple hours in
brandy Prefer VS Cognac, Cointreau and sugar, stirring occasionally.
For each quart of berries use half an ounce of brandy, one ounce of
Cointreau (or triple sec) and ¼ cup granulated sugar. |
