Ingredients

4 cups strawberries, washed, stems removed and sliced into eighths
2 pints raspberries, washed
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 cups reserved berries
2 cups plain yogurt, drained
1 cup creme fraiche or heavy cream
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar
3 small pears, skin on, cores removed and quartered
1 large Granny Smith apple, skin on, cored and cut into 8 wedges
2 branches fresh rhubarb, trimmed and each cut into 4 pieces
4 clusters of about 6 grapes each, preferably red grapes
1 cup reserved berry juice
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, raspberries and 1 1/4 cups sugar. Toss well.
Heat water in a pot or in the bottom of a double boiler (about 2 inches). Place the fruit bowl over the simmering water, cover and cook for an hour.
Strain the berries through a fine sieve into a bowl until all the juice is removed. Set aside the juice. Reserve the cooked berries.
Combine all sorbet ingredients in a bowl, and blend well. Place in a shallow tray. Freeze for two hours.
Place butter and 1/4 cup sugar in a large pan with pear, apple and rhubarb pieces in one layer. Over medium-high heat, cook all fruit until tender, about 5 minutes. Add grapes.
Add reserved berry juice and lemon juice. Cover, and reduce the juice by half.
Place some of the cooked fruit mixture on a plate next to a scoop of the frozen sorbet. Spoon juice from pan, and pour over everything.
