Tremendous Triple Berry Trifle

From a children's cookbook called Monkey Pudding, this is simple to make and very tasty. I cut the sugar -- it originally called for 1/2 cup, and it was plenty sweet. The original recipe said to chill for 30 minutes, but 24 hours is needed if you want the cookies to be nice and soft (so cooking time is actually chilling time). I use Voortman Vanilla Wafer Cookies -- about 3/4 of the package.

1. In a large mixing bowl, add berries, lemon juice, and sugar; fold ingredients together, being careful not to smash the berries.
