Ingredients

Fresh berries : A selection of fresh strawberries (chopped into bite-sized pieces), blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries

2 tbsp Sugar

1 piece Orange Juice

1 piece Orange Zest

Sherbet : Your favorite variety; the recipe uses rainbow sherbet

Instructions

Wash your selection of fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries).

Chop the strawberries into bite-sized pieces and place all the berries into a mixing bowl.

Grate fresh orange zest directly over the berries.

Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of sugar over the fruit, adjusting the amount based on the natural sweetness of the berries.

Squeeze the juice of one fresh orange over the mixture.

The juice helps to create a flavorful syrup at the bottom of the bowl.

Give the fruit a gentle mix to ensure everything is coated.

Let the bowl sit for about 20 minutes (either on the counter or in the fridge) to allow the sugar to dissolve and the fruit to release its juices.

While the fruit macerates, remove your choice of sherbet (such as rainbow sherbet) from the freezer for about 10 minutes to soften it slightly, making it easier to scoop.

When ready, place two generous scoops of sherbet into a serving bowl.

Spoon the macerated fruit salad over the top, making sure to drizzle some of the sweet citrus juices from the bottom of the bowl over the sherbet. Enjoy immediately.
