Berries With Cointreau

Directions

1. 1
   Hull and halve most of the strawberries, leaving some whole for decoration.
2. 2
   Using a clear glass bowl for display add frozen berries and fresh strawberries and mix together, leaving the whole strawberries for later.
3. 3
   Put Cointreau, arrowroot and honey into a small saucepan and heat until it starts to thicken, then add about 1/4 of the berries from the glass dish and puree or blend with a stick blender.
4. 4
   Pour pureed berries over the mixed berries in the glass bowl and mix well, keeping the whole strawberries on top for decoration.
5. 5
   Taste now before chilling and adjust flavours, by adding more Cointreau and sweetener if necessary - I usually just add icing sugar instead of more honey.
6. 6
   Cover with cling wrap and chill then serve with ice-cream or whipped cream.
