Triple Berry Salad

Thoughts Before Cooking:

So in yesterday’s post, I talked about how I was looking for things to make for my tea party/book club meeting that are Regency-ish but cool for summer.

I was thinking about Emma’s picnic and the strawberries they eat:

I started looking through recipes for a strawberry dish when I remembered a fantastic one that my sister blog Mysterious Eats made.

Ingredients:

• 6-8 Ounces of Strawberries
• 6 Ounces of Blueberries
• 6 Ounces of Raspberries
• 1/4 Cup of Sugar
• 1/4 Cup of Water
• 1/2 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

Directions:

1. Place sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Bring mixture to a simmer (there will be small bubbles), and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Remove from heat and cool for 5 mins.
4. Stir in vanilla extract.
5. Chill completely in fridge.
6. Rinse the berries.
7. Hull the strawberries and slice into 2-3 pieces.
8. Place all the berries in one bowl.
9. Just before serving, drizzle the berries with the vanilla sugar syrup.
10. Toss gently.
11. Serve

Thoughts After Cooking:

What did I think?

It was just the perfect blend of everything and absolutely delicious.
