Macerated Berries With Whipped Cream

This is a wonderful summertime dessert. So delicious with a nice glass of sparkling wine. This is also great served with some dark chocolate. From The Wine Club cookbook. Serve the berries in a white wine glass for a nice presentation. If you do not have rose water you can flavor the whipped cream with vanilla or lemon extract.
