There's nothing like fresh summer berries, whether plucked from the vine by hand or purchased at a farmer's market. Raspberries have always been one of my favorite berries and I can never get enough of them. I picked some up at the farmer's market over the weekend and man are they good!
This recipe is based on one I discovered a couple years ago, the origins of which I cannot remember. I always used frozen strawberries to make it, but adapted it to use fresh (non-frozen) fruit and of course, raspberries. Feel free to use whatever berries you like and/or have on hand. If using frozen, replace the ice with an equal part of water. It makes an excellent light snack or dessert.
