Summer Berry Shortcake

4 servings

Skip the whipped cream --- berries make this "shortcake" flavorful.

• 3 cups mixed such as raspberries,
     strawberries and blackberries
• 1 tablespoon sugar
•    Juice of 1 orange
• 4 slices dessert shells or angel food cakes

Toss the berries with the sugar and let macerate for 30 minutes. Mash slightly with the back of a spoon or fork and toss with the orange juice.

Place a slice of sponge cake or dessert shell on plate. Top with the fruit, making sure to spoon on some syrup, and serve.

Bon appetit!
