Tossed Fresh Berries in Ginger Sauce

Ingredients:

(For the Sauce)

• ½ tsp vanilla extract 
• 4 cups strawberries, hulled and halved 
• 3 tbsp chopped crystallized ginger 
• ¼ cup orange juice 

(For the Mixed Berries)

• 1 cup fresh red currants 
• 2 cups blackberries 
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish 
• 1 cup raspberries 

Preparation:

1. To prepare the sauce, mix in the orange juice, vanilla, ginger and strawberries in a food processor or in a blender. Process just until the mixture is well blended. Through a fine-meshed sieved placed over a small bowl, pass the puree and press on the solids with a wooden spatula or the back of a wooden spoon in order to get all the juice. 
2. Toss altogether the raspberries, blackberries and currants in a large mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients well then transfer into individual bowls or a serving bowl. Spoon the prepared ginger sauce on top of the berries mixture and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve outright. 

This recipe features a spicy, sweet ginger sauce that could be refrigerated for up to 3 days. The sauce can go along well with angel food cake or even just fresh melons.
