July 4th-Patriotic Parfait

Layers of red strawberries and raspberries, blueberries, and sweet cream create a patriotic food statement!


Ingredients
1/2 pt./125ml heavy cream
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 qt. strawberries
1 qt. blueberries
1/2 pt. red raspberries

Directions
Whip cream with sugar (or omit sugar altogether and it will taste even better); set aside. Wash fruits and spread out on a terry towel to dry. Puree raspberries in the blender and chill. Slice strawberries. Place some blueberries in the bottom of parfait glasses then add some strawberry slices. Drizzle with a small amount of raspberry puree. Top with some whipped cream. Repeat layers until the glasses are full, ending with whipped cream. Make sure to keep some of the raspberry puree. Just before serving, drizzle the remaining raspberry puree over the whipped cream.
