Serves: 6

Ingredients

Berries

• 6 c fresh mixed berries (scant 2 lbs), divided
• 3/4 c sugar
• 1/4 c orange juice

Vanilla Cream

• 1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise, or 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 c chilled heavy cream
• 1/3 c sour cream
• 1/4 c sugar

Steps

1. Using a potato masher, mash 1 cup berries with sugar and orange juice in a large bowl until sugar begins to dissolve. Gently stir in remaining 5 cups berries. Let sit at room temperature, tossing occasionally, until berries are juicy, 1-2 hours.
