Comments: Don't bother making this delight with out-of-season, flavorless, or frozen berries. This dessert should celebrate fresh, at-their-peak berries only! For a different twist, try fresh raspberries or blackberries or use cut-up peaches or nectarines instead. See "Buttermilk Biscuit" recipe.

“That's something I've noticed about food: whenever there's a crisis if you can get people to eating normally things get better.”
