Drunken Berries Recipe

  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup pear liqueur
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 1 pint blueberries
  • 1 pint fresh blackberries
  1. Combine sugar with water in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes; remove from heat and let stand 5 more minutes.
  2. Stir pear liqueur into the syrup and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  3. Gently combine strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries in a large bowl and pour syrup over the berries to coat. Allow berries to stand for about 3 hours to absorb flavors. Mixture can stand up to 3 days if desired.
