Tangy Berries

It is very hot and sticky in NYC right now, yesterday was such a nice day, cool, a perfect summer day. Today is hot, steamy, and raining - Ugh. On day like this I want ice cream, I know i am not the norm, I like vanilla but with toppings and with all the fresh berries still in the market; here is perfect topping to make, that will keep in the fridge for awhile.
