ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups fresh raspberries or 10 ounces frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed

• 2 pints fresh strawberries, rinsed, hulled and halved

directions

1. In a blender or food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the raspberries, salt, and vanilla. Puree until smooth. Pass the puree through a fine strainer into a bowl, pressing down on the pulp to get every bit of the juice. Taste as you stir in sugar, one teaspoon at a time.

3. Serve right away or hold up to an hour. Spoon into bowls and enjoy at room temperature.
