Time 5h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (12 ounce) package unsweetened berries (raspberries, strawberries or mixture)
1/4 cup raspberry preserves
1 1/2 cups orange juice (or cranberry)
1 (12 ounce) bottle champagne (or dessert wine optional)
iced tea (optional)

Steps:

Defrost berries overnight. Push berries and jam through a strainer until you have 1 1/2 cups (approx) of mixture.
Put berry mixture into ice cube trays to make 12 cubes. Pour fruit juice into another set of ice cube trays.
Freeze at least 3 to 4 hours.
Pull cubes out with a small knife and put them into a bag for later use, and back in freezer.
30 minutes before serving put 2 / 3 cubes of berry/ juice mixture in each glass. Place the glasses in the fridge for 20 minutes or on the counter for 15 minutes to soften cubes slightly.
Pour wine, or even water over cubes and serve with something sweet like a piece of cake.
