Ingredients:

Party Berry Bowl - photo courtsey of Sigona's customer Lisa Janny

• 3 baskets of strawberries
• 1 basket each of raspberries, blueberries and boysenberries (you can substitute blackberries or olallieberries)
• ½ fresh cut pineapple, cut into chunks
• ½ Tbl. Organic Agave Nectar
• 1 white gerbera daisy, for decoration (optional)

Directions: At least one hour before party time, rinse the strawberries, remove the stems and slice them into halves. Mix the strawberries in a large bowl with the remaining berries, pineapple and agave nectar.

Let it sit for 1 hour, bringing the mix to room temperature. Be sure to gently toss the mixture 2-3 times an hour to bring out the natural sugars. Garnish with the blossom of a white gerbera daisy – it makes a beautiful contrast to the vibrant color of the berries.
