Berry Slices

Pane-Bistecca

The berries are ripe! Why don’t we make berry slices?

I love raspberries and strawberries, blueberries and blackberries, “Trübli” (currants) and many more. I could eat them every day, preferably fresh. Here in Asia, all berries are imported, which means they arrive half-ripe or unripe so that they don’t go moldy when they are sold. But in Europe they come fresh from the field, really ripe. The taste experience surprises me every year!

For the party with the family, I decided to make berry slices because they are light and taste fantastic now that the berries are fresh and ripe! I made three different berry slices, one with strawberries, one with raspberries and one with blueberries. They tasted wonderful.

The slices can be made in several stages. The recipe is for a square baking tin measuring approx. 25 cm. I have made three times the amount so that there is enough for three different slices.
