Perfect for the Fourth of July. If you like, garnish the sundaes with maraschino cherries, small American flags and edible sugar stars. Ingredients:
3 1/2-pint baskets fresh raspberries |
1/4 cup seedless raspberry preserves |
3 1/2 tablespoons framboise eau-de-vie (clear raspberry brandy) or brandy |
3 1/2-pint baskets fresh blueberries |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup water |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1 cup chilled whipping cream |
2 tablespoons powdered sugar |
vanilla ice cream |
Directions:
1. Puree 2 baskets raspberries, preserves and 2 tablespoons brandy in blender. Strain into small bowl, pressing on solids.
2. Stir 2 baskets blueberries, sugar, 1/4 cup water and lemon juice in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Strain sauce into another small bowl. (Sauces can be made 3 days ahead. Cover separately; chill.)
3. Beat whipping cream, powdered sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons brandy in medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Chill until ready to use, up to 3 hours.
4. Place 3 scoops of ice cream in each of 6 bowls. Top with remaining fresh berries. Drizzle with raspberry and blueberry sauces. Pipe or spoon whipped cream atop sundaes.
