Marinated summer berries

This easy recipe proves there's no need to mask the clean flavors of great berries with heavy cream. Something light and bubbly will do just fine.

Ingredients

1 pint raspberries
1 pint blueberries
1 pint blackberries or boysenberries
4 cups sparkling cider or champagne

Directions

1. Place the berries in a medium bowl.
2. Pour the cider or champagne over the berries.
3. Let stand for about an hour.

If you want something creamy, serve the fruit over low-fat or nonfat frozen vanilla yogurt.
