Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 golden pineapple, peeled and large-diced
3 half-pints fresh raspberries, divided
2 half-pints fresh blueberries
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons framboise (raspberry brandy), optional
2 pints good vanilla ice cream

Steps:

Place the pineapple in a medium saucepan, then add 2 half-pints of raspberries, all the blueberries, the sugar, and 3/4 cup water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook uncovered over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes. The juice will become a syrup and the berries will be slightly cooked. Off the heat, stir in the remaining half-pint of raspberries and the framboise, if desired. Set aside until warm.
Place about 3/4 cup of fruit in each bowl and top with a scoop of ice cream.
