Fresh Berry Fool

Fresh Berry Fool

MAKES 4 SERVINGS

The word fool is an old-fashioned term of endearment. This oldfashioned
dessert favorite is a combination of fruit and cream. Fools
are made with either fresh berries or cooked fruit.

2 cups fresh strawberries or raspberries
1A to 1A cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons fruit-flavored liqueur, or 1 teaspoon vanilla
Fresh berries for garnish

Pick over the berries; remove stems from strawberries and combine
in a bowl with the sugar. Let stand 10 minutes. Whip the cream
until stiff and flavor with the liqueur or vanilla. Fold into the berries
and chill until ready to serve. Spoon into dessert dishes and garnish
with an additional fresh berry.
