Ingredients
1/3 cup sugar
5 wide strips orange zest
6 sprigs thyme
2 pounds strawberries, trimmed and sliced
3/4 cup blueberries
3/4 cup blackberries
2 tablespoons orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier)
Directions
- Combine the sugar, 3 tablespoons water, the orange zest, thyme and one-third of the strawberries in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar, until slightly syrupy, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Combine the remaining strawberries, the blueberries and blackberries in a large bowl. Add the orange liqueur and toss to coat. Strain the cooled syrup, reserving the orange zest, then pour the syrup over the berries; toss to coat. Let sit, tossing occasionally, until the fruit softens slightly and is very juicy, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter or bowl along with the reserved zest.
