BERRIES WITH COINTREAU
This is a refreshing summer dessert our friend Margaret makes each Boxing Day. It is not exactly as Margaret makes it because I made this from memory, it was never written down, but it does taste the same. The first couple of times I made this I used custard powder as I didn't have arrowroot, it worked fine. Make whatever quantity you need and use fresh or frozen berries, it is flexible. The berries look lovely served in martini glasses with bowl on the table for guests to have seconds.

Steps:
- Hull and halve most of the strawberries, leaving some whole for decoration.
- Using a clear glass bowl for display add frozen berries and fresh strawberries and mix together, leaving the whole strawberries for later.
- Put Cointreau, arrowroot and honey into a small saucepan and heat until it starts to thicken, then add about 1/4 of the berries from the glass dish and puree or blend with a stick blender.
- Pour pureed berries over the mixed berries in the glass bowl and mix well, keeping the whole strawberries on top for decoration.
- Taste now before chilling and adjust flavours, by adding more Cointreau and sweetener if necessary - I usually just add icing sugar instead of more honey.
- Cover with cling wrap and chill then serve with ice-cream or whipped cream.

- To serve, scatter the mint leaves over the strawberries and give them one more good stir, then spoon into individual glass dishes.

Tips:
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them completely before using.
- If you don't have Cointreau, you can use another orange-flavored liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Triple Sec.
- Be careful not to overcook the blueberries. They should be cooked until they are just softened, but still hold their shape.
- Serve the blueberries warm or at room temperature. They can be served on their own, or used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
