Sweet Mixed Berries with Port

These are better for you than fudge and less dangerous than a drink-and- dial cocktail. When your heart needs mending, consider this recipe your one-bowl support group. It’s also great spooned over cold, creamy, comforting scoops of vanilla ice cream.

SERVES: 2

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup mixed berries
• 3 tablespoons port wine
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a small bowl, combine the berries, port wine, and sugar (if using), and toss to coat.
2. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, stirring a few times, until the berries have released their juices.
3. Serve in parfait or martini glasses.

TIP:

• In addition to ice cream, these berries also work nicely as a topping for Greek yogurt or cheesecake.
