Also, berry season is upon us,  which gives me tons of deliciousness to work with. Fresh fruit has been a staple in our home ever since I was little. It’s always so refreshing to eat sweet berries on a hot summer day, whether it’s in a smoothie, or dessert or right out the carton.
This sweet dessert is perfect for picnics, parties or as a snack. Serve this treat warm and with ice cream 🙂

I decided my mixed berries would be cherries and blueberries since that is what I had on hand, but you can use any berries. Cherries has a shorter season than strawberries and blueberries, so I’m all about using them anyway I can. You can also use frozen berries however I prefer fresh.
