Mixed Berry Shortcake

My neighbor Cheryl gave me some mini angel food cakes, and since, we were in the mood for a dessert I decided to make a mixed berry shortcake.  I used what fruit I had (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries & blueberries), topped them with homemade whipped cream, and they were delicious.  Thanks, Cheryl!

• 1-2 cups of strawberries, sliced
• 1-2 cups of red raspberries
• 1-2 cups of blackberries
• 1 cup of blueberries
• 2 tbsp white sugar, or more depending on the sweetness of the berries.

Combine all ingredients (use frozen fruits if you don’t have fresh ones) in a bowl & mix thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
