I generally make this with strawberries and then transition to raspberries, blueberries and then cherries. I prefer mint with the raspberries and thyme with the cherries, but like all things it is a matter of personal preference.
Ingredients
1 qt strawberries
¼ tsp vanilla
¼ C honey
5 leaves basil
3 grinds of black pepper
pinch of salt
vanilla ice cream
Method
Wash and hull the strawberries and place in the bowl of a food processor.
Add the vanilla, honey, black pepper and salt.
Just before serving pulse the berries to make a chunky sauce.
Spoon over the vanilla ice cream and garnish with torn basil leaves.
