Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Turbinado sugar
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Rinse and pat dry the mixed berries, then place them in a medium-sized bowl.
2. Drizzle the berries with lemon juice and honey, gently tossing to coat evenly. Set aside.
3. Preheat your oven broiler or use a kitchen torch for caramelizing the sugar.
4. Divide the berry mixture evenly into individual serving ramekins or a shallow baking dish.
5. Sprinkle an even layer of turbinado sugar across the top of the berries, roughly 1/2 tablespoon per serving.
6. If using the broiler, place the ramekins under the broiler on high heat for 2-4 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Alternatively, use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar by moving the flame steadily across the surface until the sugar melts and forms a golden crust.
7. Allow the crust to cool for 2 minutes to harden slightly before serving.
8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.
