Mixed Berry Crepes With Light Berry Sauce image

Found this on mealsforyou.com. Have had it for a while and today is so hot that I thought I would hurry the winter along. We went to the store early this morning and made these miniature-crepes by cutting the ready-made crepes in 4, just so the residents that wanted to taste could! They aren't too big on berries - they like guavas, mangoes, fruta bomba(papaya), & all the tropical fruits. Can't blame them really, that is what they came here knowing and continued to believe that the island would be free of Castro and that they would return to their beautiful homeland, NOT! I didn't allow for cooling time, this can be prepared earlier in the day and then warmed slightly and assembled.
