Number Of Ingredients 6

3 half-pints fresh raspberries
2 half-pints fresh blueberries
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons Framboise (optional)
2 pints good-quality vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Combine 2 half-pints raspberries with the blueberries, sugar, and 3/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook uncovered over medium to low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is a syrup and the berries have released their juices, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the remaining half-pint of raspberries and the Framboise, if using.
  • Place 3/4 cup stewed berries in a bowl. Add a large scoop of ice cream to each bowl, and serve immediately.
