This dessert makes use of the last of the summer berries, it also screams summer. It&#8217;s a perfect end to a BBQ and would even make a great picnic dessert if it&#8217;s prepared ahead of time and kept cool until serving. This recipe may also give one a new appreciation for tequila. It allows you to enjoy the subtle agave flavors without the side effects of a massive headache and wondering why you&#8217;re sleeping in all your clothes.</p>
<p>- 1 lb. container fresh strawberries (16 oz)<br />- 1 lb. container fresh blueberries (16 oz)<br />- 2 containers raspberries (8oz each)<br />- 2 tbsp sugar<br />- 4 tbsp anejo tequila (adjust to taste but don&#8217;t over-do it)<br />- juice of one lime</p>
<p>Start by zesting your time and setting the zest aside for your whipped cream.<br />Hull and slice strawberries<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TSm0K9qpZM0/SpQVtUb2QaI/AAAAAAAAAO0/n8TLaVGXCQE/s1600-h/strawbs.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 254px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TSm0K9qpZM0/SpQVtUb2QaI/AAAAAAAAAO0/n8TLaVGXCQE/s400/strawbs.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373944123683652002" /></a><br />Slightly muddle or gently smash blueberries with a fork (leave mostly intact, you just want to rough em up a bit so they can absorb some tequila)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TSm0K9qpZM0/SpQUq4X8NAI/AAAAAAAAAOk/Ywrp-Ue3j68/s1600-h/Bluebers.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 396px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TSm0K9qpZM0/SpQUq4X8NAI/AAAAAAAAAOk/Ywrp-Ue3j68/s400/Bluebers.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373942982279705602" /></a><br />Mix strawberries and blueberries and add raspberries<br />Spoon sugar over mixture and stir gently<br />Add tequila and lime juice and stir gently<br />Refrigerate at least two hours, up to 24, stirring once every hour.<br />Serve with lime whipped cream</p>
<p>- 1 cup heavy whipping cream<br />- zest of one lime<br />- 6 Tbsp granulated sugar</p>
<p>Measure sugar into a small bowl then zest lime into the sugar. Mix and refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.<br />Put mixing bowl and beaters in freezer until ready use but at least 30 minutes. Fill a large bowl halfway with ice and a little water. Place a smaller metal bowl on top of the ice water in the bowl and pour the cream into the smaller metal bowl. Using electric beaters or a whisk (you must have major muscles and stamina to do it old skool, a whisk attachment for electric hand beaters is ideal) whip/whisk until stiff peaks begin to form. Add sugar mixture and whip until you have light, fluffy whipped cream. DO NOT OVER-WHIP or you will make lime flavored, oily butter. Yech.</p>
<p>Spoon berry mixture into a bowl or goblet and top with whipped cream. This recipe is insanely good and the tequila is very subtle, not at all knock-you-on-your-butt alcohol-y.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TSm0K9qpZM0/SpQVOlTYJeI/AAAAAAAAAOs/eaGRzCVC7Hk/s1600-h/Finished.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 336px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TSm0K9qpZM0/SpQVOlTYJeI/AAAAAAAAAOs/eaGRzCVC7Hk/s400/Finished.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373943595635582434" /></a></p>
