Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups raspberries (6 ounces)
3 cups blueberries (10 ounces)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
8 cups lightly packed shaved ice (made with an ice shaver, preferably manual)
Special Equipment
an ice shaver, preferably manual

Steps:

  • Coarsely mash 1 1/2 cups raspberries and 2 cups blueberries with sugar and water in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan using a potato masher. Bring to a boil, stirring, then boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Transfer to a blender and purée until almost smooth, about 1 minute (use caution when blending hot liquids). Pour berry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing lightly on and then discarding solids. Cool syrup, uncovered, then chill, its surface loosely covered with plastic wrap, until cold, about 1 hour.
  • For each serving, spoon 3 tablespoons syrup over 1 cup lightly packed shaved ice and top with 1/4 cup of remaining mixed berries. Serve immediately.
