The harmonious blend of sweet and tart flavors creates a refreshing finale to summer meals, while its shimmering appearance evokes a sense of vintage charm and modern sophistication.
Ingredients
– 4 cups mixed fresh berries (such as raspberries, blueberries, and sliced strawberries, patted dry to prevent excess moisture)
